Dave, just one more thing for you to think about, because of the weight of your car you are going to get into issues with either combo that you choose. What I mean is you could take the 454 right out of Mikes 3000# Corvette or the 350 out of Johnny Grays Nova and stick it in your 4000# plus Caprice and it isn't exactly going to work. It would be nice if Bob Bender would check in on this issue. You have to find a way to accelerate all of that mass and a lot of the tricks that make a light car go fast won't work on your car.
