What wouldn't be an insulting offer?

What are your plans for the car the motor is going into? cruiser, racer, show car??

Just trying to build something I can enjoy, but I also want it to have some power. Mostly street, couple trips to the strip here and there.

I'm only shooting to get around 350-400HP. I originally was going to build a 318 to 325HP, but everyone recommended me to go BB in this case.

Even for a quality stock rebuild, you will spend 2500 dollars on machine work alone if "done right".

I just get it done a piece at a time. That's always how I've had to do it.

Yeah, i guess I worry too much, lol.
I'll see what the guy says, if I can unload some stuff to get it, it wouldn't be bad.
