Next up is the sbc. It smokes quite a bit on start up and seems like it doesnt have much power, better to fix it now before it leaves me stranded up in the mountains while hunting. It needs to be rebuilt or replaced. Not sure which route I want to go. The 260hp GM crate sounds like a good deal, but I have a few gearhead friends that rebuild engines and would like to get 350hp or maybe 400hp out of it. Cost is an issue, so it might be a while before I get the money saved up to have it done.

Does 400hp sound a little to farfetched?
