r.barn so would you get it if you can get it for a descent price? this guy has a mexican block and an orginal boss 302 block which one would you get if you were wanting to make some hp?

missed that part sorry, that linkwas for the new block. anyway i'd still say go for the boss. oh when you had yourcar loweredhow much lower than stock was it? cause it lookedawful low when i saw itbefore you soldit. but it had the stock 16's on.anyway i was asking because i have the eibach sportline springs wanting to go on my car and i don't know if i'll have any rubbing issues or not.
