build it right the first time man. Don't spend your money twice. Spend a few extra bucks now to save you thousands down the road.

The build kit going in is more than I need, 302. Should be good for +500 RWHP, which I'll most likely never touch.

Not sure, shouldn't be more than $350-450 out of pocket......just rode out there a little while ago to peep at my car through the fence (after hours). To my dismay, my driver side window was DOWN! I don't know about the rest of the country, but in NC we have pine pollen that covers everything with a yellow dust, not to mention they are calling for rain tonight. I got in touch with the owner and raised hell with him. Told him I couldn't believe he would treat my car like that. Man, that SS has spent the past decade in a garage, wtf! Told him I wanted him to come unlock his gate and give me my damn car back now. He talked me down and had some guy go out and pull it into the garage. My window motor is going out, so the window will roll down, but won't go up. Anyway, I'm still cooling down from that.....and yes, I did drive back out there to make sure they actually moved it, lol. Can't catch a break to save my life. These damn mechanics are the very reason I try to do my own work.

Holy mother of god, I'd slap a bitch for that. Well, we are getting raing followed by lots of pollen followed with more rain -_-

I'll do it...seriously. Only I'll drive it up. I wouldn't expect you to help me for free either.
