Thanks for all the reply's. A bit surprised by the interest. I'm trying to decide a couple of things
1) attempt my 1st T350 rebuild or shell out 500. and be done with it.
I want to do it myself but really I have way too many projects as is.
2) figure out what direction I should take with it.
a) make it a runner, polish and flip?
b) add the 455 and make a sleeper/beater (cheap racer)
c) add the 455 and add hood scoop, maybe stripes for a muscle car look.
(expensive racer)
Leaning away from the flip idea, even if it is the most sensible idea.
Not really a sensible hobby we have here is it?
