These questions/answers will help narrow it down.

Carb/EFI -
Not sure what I should do yet, all my back ground was SBC with carbs but all my more recent toys are EFI but Diesel.

Iron/Aluminum-
Have no idea?

SBC/BBC-
It's just me and want to set my goal for a BBC. I feel if I do a SBC I will always want to re-do it and drop a BBC in the car. I have just always wanted a BBC.

Chance of a supercharger in the future?-
Anything is possible. But not a idea as of right now. I am starting to see that a charger is what more people are doing than I thought at first.

Not interested in a 500ish hp LS motor?-
A LS motor could be if that's what I should really be looking at.

Wanting to keep it more original looking?-
I am looking to build a car that has many original looking areas with new school up grades that make you look twice (I guess that is called Pro-Turing look now). so I don't need the engine to look like it 100% belongs as it did off the show room floor.



awr68, I know all my answers are not perfect for suggestions but the truth of why I need help
