Thread: What Should I Do

O.K., here's an alternate plan that maybe you can live with. While continuing to drive the car, locate a rebuildable Chevy 400 short block and start gathering up parts for it.
GM 12558060 Vortec heads $249.75 each at www.SDPC2000
Edelbrock 2116 Vortec intake for std. or spreadbore carb (use quadrajet if you want)
Edelbrock 8032 throttle bracket
Keith Black KB126 (+0.030") pistons (30 cc D-cup)
Fel-Pro 1014 head gaskets 0.039" compressed
Crane 100042 cam (Vortec heads limited to 0.450" lift with supplied springs) http://www.cranecams.com/?show=brows...tType=camshaft
You could also use the Comp Cams 260H
Chevy rail rocker arms
1 5/8" headers
5.700" Chevy rods
zero deck the block
stock converter

This will make a strong torque motor that will run great on cat-piss pump gas (8.93:1 compression ratio)

Wrap the 350 up in plastic and store it in the corner of the garage in case you ever do want to sell the car. You'll have the original motor and it will bring more money. And by the way, don't say you'll never sell it

P.S. you won't need the Fluidamper, use the stock 400 damper and flexplate.
