Ok, it's been awhile since i last posted up on here...been very busy at work.

Since my last post, I've bought and paid for a 1972 El Camino.

I've rebuilt the TH350 Trans. I put a shift kit in it, along with various other "this and thats" to make it handle power.

I'm ordering $300 worth of tires next weekend to go on the factory rally wheels (yes it has factory from 1972) Along with $150 worth of sheetmetal for the floor, carpet, insulation, and a new battery.

Next, along with my tires, im replacing brakes, wheel cylinders, and having rotors resurfaced.

P.S. The current motor is a SBC 350 with 80,000 original miles, it does run and drive. With no problems smoking the tires.

Now that my update is out of the way. Here's my dilema. Do I build a hot, thundering SBC 350, or should i build a nice, mild, just-above-stock BBC?

Im going to drive this everyday so gas is a factory but i want to have fun as well...I guess im asking for help to find the happy medium between power and economy. Thanks for any advice and information!
