that is more a topic for the HiPo forum, And yes it has been discussed at least once a week. I personally would go to great extremes to use ANYTHING other than a 350. Not that it is a bad engine, it just seems like sacrilege to cut up one more collector vehicle, to put one more cookie cutter engine where it should never go. When the correct engines are cheap and readily available. Realizing that once the cutting begins, any intrinsic value will be immediately lost. Not that this hobby is a money making venture to begin with. But it is your truck, so do with it as you please.
