Oil burn cloud on engine deceleration

Add in headers, distributor, transmission or bell housing if you still have both nuts, engine mounts...I'm sure I'm forgetting something but make sure you add it all up.
Ohh, I added it up. it equals, $$$$.

Again, I could decided to stroke the 340. Go to something like a 416. Seems like those kits are $2500ish. Lots cheaper than 440 build.

My refrigerator just died as well, so I might be sitting on this for a while.
