Boys, the old 350 in my wrecker is about to depart this world. I'm looking for opinions on what should replace it .
I'd love to drop in a Gen1, with a 5-speed, but I just don't have the $$$.
I've got 3 4-bolt main 350 blocks, and can't decide if I should just get another 350, build a 327, or get nasty, and scrape together a viscious little 302.
If I go Gen1, I gotta have the 5-speed(maybe more), and/or swap out the rear gears. I think it has 4.56's now.
I can get a new Marshall 350 for less than $800, witha 5/100k warranty.
I have most of the parts to build a 327, and a buddy that races, who can help me tweak it out.
The highest priced gasser would be the 302, because of the special crank/rods/pistons, but I think it would be an awesome puller from 2500-5000 rpm.
Send me a sign. Drop me a line. Or Just tell me I'm another ******* gearhead.
And for you Powerchokers....don't even think about it. I'd burn it to the ground before I'd pollute it with one of those.
