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

Well if you get Norvals, I get yours ( I really just want the engine :cheers:
If that doesn't work, I'll stick with my big smallblock. Bet of both worlds :D

I would take the big block as long as it isn't like the disaster that Merlin built. :_dupe:

I'd either go with the big block or high horsepower small block :thumbs: #'s matching is great for an investment piece but I like to :steering:

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

Re: Which C3 would you rather have ? (norvalwilhelm)
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:
