X2^ Well said. I am building a 406 (400 sbc 30 over) . I had a 10 year collection of very nice performance parts. It will be a similiar build to 1 project2many . About 450 horses (hopefully) . At one point in time I decided to try to sell the 400 virgin block and go LS . It has never been bored, has been baked,boiled and magged . A nice starting point . I could not give it away . I finally ended up putting all my parts together in the engine build. I will used them up rather than give them away . I could not give them away.

Another reason is as stated above I do not drive the truck a thousand miles a year. So no real reason to go LS . If it were a daily driver I might re think that.

Best part is I can do most of it myself.
