Techinspector....thank you very much your post was super informative.

galaxieman: i guess i said 350 chevy out of ignorance. I really don't know what all is compatible in these cars. I just seem to have noticed a trend of people using 350 chevys. Personally, i would much rahter use a motor that is different than eveyrone else, and is of the same manufacture as the car, but once again price plays a huge part in all of these decisions.
