Thanks for weighing in on my question I was told that the three 18–3 60 was bigger than the 350 Chevy. I will do some further investigation on that. I'm pretty sure I've been on the website that you're talking about I think I'm gonna go back there and see if I can send Butch an email with my problem and maybe he can help me out to . The gentleman that I'm getting the motor from brought it by my house the other day because right now it's sitting in a 60s Malibu station wagon. I heard coming a block away, he's one of our I would say local hot Rod builders and the sound that was coming out of those exhaust pipes was beautiful and when he left and took off down the road there was absolutely no smoke no nothing so clean it was crazy. But saying that I will be keeping an open mind about going Mopar which would definitely take some of the heat off from the Mopar guys. I have never been just a Mopar guy or a Chevy guy or a a ford guy I just kind of like them all. Thanks again for your time and let me know if you hear of anything else The BUCKSTER
