dakotawilly,
I think you are doing the right thing but maybe instead of asking maybe you should just say this is needed .
Try doing a motor down here if you don't have a block,most are asking $1200 plus for a 440RB block.
I would be happy with a return of the World/Megablock type replacement - but at a somewhat comparable price to a BB Chev.Maybe just not quite as heavy as the last lot were .
As said - too many choices will mean nothing will get done.
