I like the 700R4's for the cable driven speedo and cores are cheap. I have a 5.3L (LM7) drive-by-cable ready to go, but maybe I'll carb it and relocate the coil packs, dunno? It would be sweet with a finned valve cover, three duece sbc look though. If I could figure out how to mate a three duece intake to one...hmmm?

I'm not too picky, for instance if I found a great rear end cheap that has say 3.08 gears, then I'd just throw a TH 350 in there.
