I hear what you are saying but I am lookin at the super driveability of the new fuel injected engines. I am seriously gonna be driving mine every day rain or shine hot or cold so I want it to be ready and willing. But I also want to have something that has some power and guts to it too! And I think a LSX engine would fit the ticket perfectly.

I will sell my old school 327 SBC and 3 speed on the tree, driveshaft and whatever else I have to move on the boards to hopefully help someone else out with there more stock type build.
