Ditch the 305, do the 3400 build, then go back to the v8...replace it with something decent. Hrm...400 maybe? I have a couple garages. The one where I live...well, unfortunately I don't think the fiance wants me doing an engine rebuild in it. The one where I keep my stuff, that's where my spare engine is...but the garage is full of other stuff too, like OSV kits and cars and stuff...so no room! But there's a pit, which I loooove having access to.
