Well I agree with that. I've been expecting this plan will come out of necessity, if I'm being prudent. The 402 is a fresh rebuild so it's not like I'm sitting on an about-to-blow motor. When the time comes to remove this engine I'll pick up a decent stand for it to rest on until I sell the car... or need it for something else. I don't PLAN to sell this car anyway. But then we all know how that plan can change. If I'm being honest I want the 454 and a muncie m22 Rock crusher. I had one of those in my 67 Chevy II and I miss the whine from it more than the car almost. thanks for the input.
