I checked the money situation.

I got about $700 In cash right now, plus an easy 500 if I return everything

Im only about 300 away from having my car runing with a 350.


Thanks for the input guys, this is a tough call. I know I want to learn more about engines so Im gonna ask lethal if I can help him assemble the motor, and then tear down my motor, and maybe even practice porting my old heads and intake,

If this falls through Ill get the 305 runing but I will still return everything..and get a moped so I can go places.
It's nice to have the money to get this 350 that Dave is going to build you, however that will leave you with pretty much nothing in the form of savings. So what happens the first time you drive the car with that nice 350 in it, and you tear up the rear? More money. Same with the trans & converter. And then the suspension. And then the subframe connectors.

The list goes on and on. Like Jeff (RadialTireKing) said, having a fast car isn't about having a powerful engine. It's about having a complete package. Until you can afford the package, don't worry about the motor....
