Re: engine trade vote.

What is meant by "rebuilt with some assembly required"? I visualize at least a short block assembly,if not a long block,with some parts still not installed.Like the push rods and rockers aren't installed.It's not rebuilt if it isn't assembled.
Personally,with all other considerations aside,I'd do whatever it takes to have the 327.Some automatically go for more cubes.Some go for more rare.Some like common.And,some like vintage.I like more from less and the 327 is the perfect platform for that.And...they haven't been used for 42 years and you don't see anyone building new crate 327s.The fact that it's a piece of history from the coolest car manufacturer in the world makes up for any other short comings.
