Seeing as you already have the 396 it would seal the deal for me. I agree 100% on the OD.

Totally agree with everything you said. The other possibility is one of the EFI carburetors from EZ Fast or Edelbrock. I would be dropping another $1500 to $2000.00 on that though. I'm looking at $4500 for the 6.0 w/tranny. Add the cost for a new re-worked harness & I am roughly at the same price point as my 396. Actually, a bit more for the 396. I don't know. The motor is here so I guess I will just put the darn thing together & change out at a later date if I don't like it.
