I see... It was a great price, but I was looking to make a hot street motor out of it.

I have done research in the last hour of so and found that the tall deck is a 4 bolt main, which not all bbc are, and comes factory with a forged steel crank...

I would like to build it 450+ hp, but still would like to keep it streetable... Would I be better off trading for a regular bbc?

Much too young to feel this darn old?
