Also keep in mind most of this used NASCAR stuff has the driver's side motor mount bosses on the block milled off for dry sump clearance-- you'll have to run a motor plate. The dry sump will also very likely interfere with your factory frame crossmember, so plan on relocating the pump or notching your frame.
Lots of good used deals on NASCAR stuff. If you put a more reasonable cam in it, use less spring, and keep the RPM's more reasonable, they're great motors even on the street as the valvetrain will live much longer.
Keep in mind that the manifold and runners are very large and designed for continuous high-RPM stuff, so they're usually best paired to lighter cars when given "street duty." They do like RPM's!
