Hudson as I recall this is/was a auto shop project. I think most young people could relate to the gen3 more and learn something they can use in the future.
What is the finished goal/use of the car?

as much as I love my Big Block trucks, I'm really digging these G3s. I know what I can do with a 572in BB, I want to see what I can do with a 426 in G3, I like 7500 RPMs with mostly stock valve gear, I don't like 7500 rpms with after market every thing. I do like twin 830 holleys on Weiend Tunnel ram, I'm not to keen on TBs and lots of "Tuning" Both have their positives, but one thing is for sure they both have great bones to start with.

Put a 108 or 110 cam in the Gen III and you would be hard pressed to tell the difference. My car fires up and children cry and Chevy boys become children.
Mopar to the bone!!!

I'm in the same boat, ive got some pretty good deals on gen 3 stuff so I pulled the trigger.
I feel as if I've done everything possible with a stock block SB without spending a bunch more money on better heads etc. my current SB needs gone through this winter, and by the time I re ring and bearing it, and do some upgrades that I'd want to do, I could almost put this hemi together. Its bittersweet as I feel I've got some unfinished business with the SB stuff, but I'll turn it up now and donate it to science and see what a stock block will really take.
Just from handling the hemi blocks, I can tell you it's a way better platform. I think there is a lot of power potential with them. I can't wait to get mine back from the machine shop.

Your going to have an easier time finishing the project than selling the parts.
