Sounds like a good deal.

I sure do like the newer generation blocks though. I'd actually like to get my hands on two new GMPP HT 383 Short blocks. Those are way better set ups than building a 383 from a 350 block. Some new pistons to give up about 10 or 10.5:1 static compression. A nice cam with Solid Roller lifters and a really nice set of Victor Heads or better some AFR heads. Its an easy 500 Hp even with a 650 carb. But money keeps me from it right now.
