Thanks for all the replies gents but Im just starting on this resto so I would imagine yall will know how they run long before I do. Len how much is BR asking for his prison break short blocks? I too may go with a C6 first since theyre alot cheaper to build.
Lnstr, I don't want to step on toes and I bought mine a while ago. Best advice I can give is go to
www.survivalmotorsports.com and plug in your questions, every application is unique in some way. Give Barry a call or email him, I'm sure he'll take the time to hook up with you to answer all your questions.
Sixty3, die hard old guys by your side (like me for instance
) can't hurt. Only you can decide if you want to pull the trigger and build it yourself, but it sounds like the "old guy" didn't have Barry's book (another valuable resource). Personally, I'm already planning my next build, gonna be looking for a '66 2 wheel drive pickup this winter to start it off. Gotta do something with all my homeless FE parts.
Lastly, sound advice from Bob, who could say he hasn't been on a roll lately
. Of course, he won't be around when your wife sees the loan agreement
