as for motors, if you start with a small block truck, you will have a more expensive transition to BBC trying to get engine stands, pulleys, and other accessories. i think a 383 with the nv4500 sounds like a great combination. at least that's what i'm in the process of doing!

383? is that the destroked 400? But its a small block right? I will be keeping it a stocker w/ steel wheels. Just nice paint and detailed interior/exterior. Nothing custom. The fact that it is original is custom enough.
