The numbers matching would be good for an investment but i would take the non matching big block for fun.

as long as it is a vert with no rust or major work to be done, I'd take either.

HOLY poopie NORVAL!!! What size shoe horn was needed to fit this motor between the frame rails of a C3? I would classify you and TWIN_TURBO as OVER ACHIEVERS!! Does NASA know you two have those rockets? I thought I was proud of my 385HP small block... :leaving:

Small Block- BIG Block... as long as it is a Chevy CORVETTE... :cool:
