I'll spend far in excess of that the GM LS carb motors cost -- just to REBUILD my Dart Little M motor...

So they're a BARGAIN at 9 grand and under for complete motors... I'm the STUPID one for wasting more money on an OLD SKOOL motor.

Wouldn't call you stupid for using a dart little m block. If I had one already, I'd use it to. It's just that when comparing costs starting from scratch, the difference between an GEN I performance build up and an LS crate with all the extras is about a wash. Just don't start comparing 15degree heads to 23 degree heads or iron blocks vs. aluminum blocks because there's where things start to point in only one direction............again, only my thinking.
