Don't ever sell a "-bolt" short; built right, they can pretty well hold their own against almost any V-8 of the same size and level of build - they just sound different, that's all. I had a 235 in a '57 Chevy 210, that could stay with most of the stock "under 283 inch" bent blocks around; the only advantage it had was that I had balanced it and held it to tight tolerances when I rebuilt it.
