Car will be plenty fun for a bit I'm sure with the nice suspension and brakes and a rebuilt 327 with heads/cam/intake.
Just my thoughts on it.

Ugh! That's exactly my dilemma. I could get the 327 rebuilt for about $2000, but the impression I got meeting with them wasn't so positive. I don't think they build too many performance engines. For $4500, Rex will take my shortblock on trade and assemble my engine with their stout 350 shortblock, 230ish solid roller, test my heads and assemble my engine.
So I am doing it right, and going with the 350. I could always think of more exotic combos, but this engine is the perfect combination of affordable and badass. The engine should be done in February. I'm broke, but so pumped.
