Warmed-over 360+16 year old=too much?

I say put a slant in it . then if he proves to ya that he can stay outta trouble . bump it up tp the 360

If I find a cheap slant/automatic, then I wont hesitate. I will even let him try his own hand at welding/reinforcing the k, etc. I have 2 or 3 of them lying around. I do know I did more dumb things TRYING to make my 225 go fast than I did when I turned 18 and put a mid 13 sec 360 in it.
