Re: 396 Engine option...opinions

I have a 396/402 in my 65.I paid 650 for the engine and trans turnkey.The engine is fairly worn out ,but it does run good.Something to consider is the need for an upgraded cooling system.I have a new 3 row brass in mine and it runs 220-230 when it is hot outside.The four row was another $150.If only I had had the additional $150.I have no clearance issues with valve covers or headers.It looks like it belongs in it.Good luck and have fun with the swap.
