I was torn on color for a while, I see the flat black look becoming more popular lately, I really like the tough look of it.

My big question is do I go with a total blackout, wheels, grill, bumpers??? Still undecided but I want something different, and it would be nice not to have to worry if I drop a wrench on it.

I was torn on the 307 also, for nostalgic reasons. I though about doing it but landed on a .030 400 SBC, going with the Brodix IK series heads with 210 cc runner. I have to keep throttling myself back and remind myself it's a cruiser not a race truck. I campaigned a mustang in the 90's that ran 9.0's so I tend to revert back to my old mentally sometimes.

Just want a nice 500hp street cruiser.

For rear chassis I have decided on the 2x3 box trailing arms, I don't like how flimsy the stock ones are.
