I saw a 3800 with a small block at a swap meet last fall. It had a later rear and stock brakes on the front. If I remember correctly it had an sm420 instead of an automatic.

The owner claimed he had driven it a couple hundred miles to get it to the meet, and that it ran down the freeway at 70+ mph just fine.

Of course he saw how hard I was looking at it, and thought I might be a prospective buyer. He could have been in sales mode... I guess I was tempted, but really what I wanted to see what how it was built.

It's true. I really don't do anything but browse the Internet looking for trouble...
