AND NOW ------------anytime from today on if your working on a driver---go the LS route----------parts are available--mounts/headers, not only horsepower/torque but economy------you did say driver????????we are seeing much more interest in the late engines than any of the early small blocks probably on a 5 - 1 ratio, the big blocks for any earlier cars(not race cars) is sliding toward 396s with the CORRECT casting numbers--(heavyassheads)
the Dart Big blocks ( stroker big bore) are still a big part of our business but for the street crowd, the LS---however $6500 is kind of high for LS!--when LS3s are out there maybe cheaper-------

That's for the engine, transmission, ECM, and wiring harness for installing it in a Hot Rod---I've put a couple in for other guys from the same source, takes about 8 wires to hook the whole thing up!!! It also comes with alternator, power steering pump, and A/C compressor, so it saves a bunch on the accessories like you said!Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!

The 350/350 combo is nothing new just another "belly button" motor, it will bring more $$$ with the LS1
That is terrible, sad to hear about him.
