If you have the 454 and tranny laying around then it may be a good choice. Otherwise what the guys above are saying is true. Lots of engines out there that will do the job and not kill the pocket book everytime you fire it up.
What rear end you gonna run? Will you be trucking down an interstate?
Its good your making a plan. That WILL make things go better.

Sorry about your misfortune. I'm sure you and Rose will make the best of it.

I'd rather walk and carry a Chevy hub cap than ride in a Ferd.
I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you smile
