Bow Tie Question

That's why I was inserted in the restorer aspect of Chevys. I know in our world if you have a Big Block car With no engine the next best thing for a restorer is a correct date code engine of the correct performance level. I'm assuming the Bow Tie bunch feel the same way. To Be honest I may still build it stock and sell it. engine building is better than psychotherapy to me.
Even if you build the motor you'll actually lose money. Why because if you choose the wrong parts or buy the "good" stuff, you'll end up selling for less then what it cost. That is unless you already have all the parts or can get them at great discounts. The best way is to sell it as a complete core (if its running the more you'll get for it) and let the new owner build it to their wants/needs. That said, it never hurts to have a working BBC to stuff and in SBC GM car and sell it that way.
