Did I do ok on this?

There was a 440 for sale about a half hour away from me for 400 bucks!i asked my mechanic friend (who just built a 454 for my chevelle)if I should get it.he said no because it'll get expensive.i will prolly be game in the future!iv already spent 25k on 2 cars this year and my dog just got cancer that I'm 3k into now.i just want my cuda back before the snow flies.next year will be full of new and wonderful possibilities.the garage ma hall will be up in June.a big block would be tasty
