Turbo 350 vs. Metric 200 (stock eliminator)

Alan. A machinist friend told me that awhile back. The appealing part is the thick cylinder walls you get. I bet it's costly, though. I even checked my GM catalog and there is no bowtie replacement. My thing is that I sold a mint block ready to build and three spares, with the crank, heads, and gave the intake to a friend that runs a Nova stocker. I think I am going to do the 69 yr. with a 350/300-290. I have a bunch of 041 heads, 4 bolt blocks, intakes and cranks, steel or cast. Build it light as possible and run E. I don't know that anyone does that yet with a Nova. It is really nice to have all that room under the hood lol. I am a pack rat, except for the 396 stuff, for some reason. I appreciate your help and enjoy the talk.
