After this thread, im seriously thinking about just dropping the whole deal and just sit on all the money i can save up, then when im sitting on a nice nest egg, ill take it all and drop it in front of him and ask him to work with me. No matter what, Im going to be into the engine for 2000 dollars because to make the power that i want out of a 350, id have to spend money, same with any engine...It's just easier to get big power when you start with big inches... I like the 396 and I really think this would be a good setup when it was all said and done.
