Re: Honestly, what would you do?
Check out some local car shows and ask the owners who built their engines. After a few times doing this, you'll start to hear the same names pop up and then you can go visit that engine builder and check him out. His shop should be clean, equipment in good shape, and he should understand that you want his attention and time to explain things to you. This is not just another motor to you, it's like your favorite body part (you pick which one) and if he's going to tinker with that body part you are entitled to a full explanation of what he's going to do, how he's gonna do it and how much it will cost you. If he does not want to bother taking the time necessary to explain things to you, then move on to another builder.

Re: Honestly, what would you do?
I don't know how it is around there, but here running small blocks of all decriptions are listed in the want adds for next to nuthin'. I say get a motor that runs and stick it in while you decide what to do. No point taking a chance throwing a rod or something on a valuble engine.
But I'm partial to those 327's. I have one myself sitting on a stand in my shop. I don't know yet what it's going to go in. Maybe my short step someday.
