352?
is it worth keeping my 352, and just building IT up? i've done some work already to it, i think that if i put a cam kit in it and maybe some new lifters and rods and along with headers is it worth keeping the 352?

As mentioned on the 61-66 forum.. keeping it a 352 is a little pricy... (if it needs an overbore) For the money, hunting down a 390 crank rods would be the way I'd go... I rebuilt my 352 .030 over and in hind sight will say the extra time/effort....balanced against $$$ would have been worth it. The 352 pistons are upwards of 250.00 and the rings are more than 390's as well. The options for a 390 build way outway the 352 options... The 352 is a horse dont get me wrong.. I am plenty happy with the build... its the cash I parted with/limited options that have a tid bit bummed... until it chokes it's a 352.. and I can attest that via the help from this forum.. a supercharged Toyota V6 4x2 had to suck it up... cause that 40yr old bitch walked away with his lunch...hands down... and GOD forbid I run him through at crossroad...LOL....
