You can do a LS with a turbo for the same money as that SBC and have more power. Maybe more work, but that'd be more fun to drive IMO. But it's your car, don't listen to this fool. I see no power brakes and a teeny carb. Out with the old.
In all seriousness, you could buy a 300hp crate engine for around $1250 from jeggs or summit when they go on sale and that will be plenty for a cruiser and keep your factory AC there. That is a big feature IMO.
PS, don't worry, that 6.0 will be back in the shop soon even if it has head studs. Besides, he probably just spent a minimum of $5k for injectors, turbo, and the labor. Powerstrokes eat money quick.

It would be nice if this up and down crap would cease.
