Does anyone else have a hard time pulling the trigger?

Does anyone else have a hard time deciding what they want to do?

I'm stuck on what to do for the engine and rim departments.

I have an old 350 that I rebuilt 14 years ago. It runs fine but is beginning to get a little tired. It was just a stock rebuild so no go fast goodies on it. I would love to step up to a 383 for some killer speed and torque. I wish that I would have rebuilt the 327 that was in it. I was young and new to chevy trucks and I mistakenly thought a 350 would be faster.

I have been pouring over craiglist ads for 327. But then I start to look at 350s. Like everyone else, money is a deciding factor. Like I said earlier, my motor runs fine but I worry about how much more time I have with it. I have a little money saved up. I want to prepare myself for when it comes time to rebuild/ replace.

After rebuilding the 350, I decided I didn't really want to rebuild another. It was fun but it does take time and isn't exactly cheaper I guess.

For the rims, I have some cheap chrome ones. They are ok. They roll. I like the stock look with steelies with full wheel covers. But then again, I like the look of the Boss and Coys also. I got some steelies from the salvage yard 6 lug and I think they are 15 x 6. Not really what I wanted. I would rather have 15 x 8's or 15 x 10's. Well I guess i have em now, not sure what I'll do with them.

Aye carumbah!!!!

Anyone else feel the same way? How do you finally decide what to do?
