Nowadays it's easier to put in a 427 SBC - unless money is an issue.

Thanks for the input. The thing is I started building this big block for a differnt car. I aquired the corvette car for free.

Get youself a ZZ430 SB you'll be happier. I know a guy with one in a 67 Coupe and it does 120 MPH in second gear. 7000 RPM redline.$7,000 made for the 24 hours at Sebring so it will do high RPM all day.
I have a really strong built 350 in my 79.
*IF* I ever change it, it will be an LS motor JMHOkickstart
