hahahaha did you talk to my wife?
That is what I told her..I was originally going to rebulid my 350..then I found a running when pulled 454 for 175bucks. I told her it would be cheeper to replace the engine..she doens't know what a 350 or a 454 are
It took a year or so collecting parts and getting the longblock assymbled.

she has no clue what i ended up spending over that year
