    Honestly it all boils down to your preference. No project is worth doing if your not completely in love with it. other wise chanes are you will never finish it. at some point a project you not in love with will bore or get to a point of frustration that causes you to abandon it, put it off for...

    Engine question for the penny pinchers.

    That is exactly where I was going with it. I had some of the Bow tie crowd telling me not to swap engines that all it needed was an oil pump and for some reason I started doubting my own knowledge and experience. Thank you all for bringing me back to my senses. David

    How Much Damage could possibly occur..............

    I would defiantly autopsy the engine and see. I almost Guarantee the crank and a couple of rods are gone. Probably the block, possible salvageable parts would be some rods, maby heads, maby cam, & lifters obviously the externals intake carb etc. David

    Could you spend a mill in a day ?

    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.
