So, for guys that have had big blocks, how is the cab drone and overall noise when your driving around? It always drove me crazy in a DD after a week of fun, when your sitting in traffic and you cant hear yourself think. could i make it decently quiet with the right muffler? (SORRY) Are the vibrations going to be much worse? and as far as fuel, is it going to be much worse than a 350/ th350 setup?
please let me know your opinions, seems like i might have to act fast on this one.
Thanks!

why not a BBC?? are you towing or driving long distance. I've got a 56 with a 454 and a TH400, I didn't put that into it worrying about gas mileage. as far as vibration and noise, you've heard from enough to tell you it's not an issue with the right exhaust. Please, don't run your pipes out the side, that's noisy for sure.
