Future Engine Build 396/402 Yeah!!!
Well I scored a 396/402 a couple of days ago off eBay. I was worried at first because I won it for $105.00, only 3 bids and I waited to the end. Well he contacted me so we could arrange pick up of the engine. I am having a friend and engine build pick it up sice I am in California and the guy is in AZ. Right place right time for me on this one. Now the engine planning begins. My final configuration will be a 402 with turbo 400.

Sounds like you want to kick up a little dirt. I am also building a 350! The BB is for my final configuration and a money pit... I just love the sound...
