Cute.

I post some constructive comments, and you take it as "interference." I offer you a fair price, and you find it "INAPPROPRIATE?" :bs

You could drop it in place of the 350, build it to run at a max of 5500 RPM, and have a lot of fun...

I'd suggest looking on Craigs List, or EBay.

I bought my '92 off of EBay for $5800, about 3 months ago. With various fix-its and the few upgrades I've done, I'm into it for maybe $7500.

But when you add up the machining costs, +the cost costs of 427 pistons (also expensive, at this point), you'd be money ahead to go 454/496, in the same external package...
