I'm all about saving gas, but spending $5000 or so to swap will take a long time to pay off.

Thats like the hybrids, I didn't understand why people were going out and spending $20-30k on a car to save gas money???

The OP was talking about an $8K 383....

I look at it this way....Have more power, Better drivability, OBD II dianostics & I havnt done anything to it other than maintenance (oil changes, trans service) in 8 years....Its an overall improvement, Fuel milage was just a bonus.

My 350 was getting worn out, With dual smog pumps it was a nightmare to work on & I still had to smog test at the time.

The old Burb doesnt owe me anything, I dont see how in the world me doing an engine swap is in the same league as buying an expensive hybrid $hit box??
