If it's anything like my area, that option is great if you don't mind standing in a long line.

My buddy is researching everything for swapping a new sbc into his sons 68. Our local, reputable builder has quite a waiting list. His motors are spec built, but the cost is as much or more than the crate so we're looking @ that 290hp 350 as an option.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
