Guess I need to spend some time on my flow bench....
I was digging around the shop yesterday and found a 3.625 Bryant crank.
I might even consider a 390 cu in BBC for SS/AS
I would have fewer body modifications to the car. (former SS/DM) Going to have to do a lot to get to the Legal SS/GT body.
Donna says I have too many choices.
I'm in "Analysis Paralysis"
Thanks for the input.

Sounds like you need to choose a combination, and hold a garage sale to raise money!


The modified route might be the most affordable, if the car requires rework that costs substantial money to get to legal status for GT. Considering how rare a heads up would be, it wouldn't have to be state of the art.


The 402 combination would probably be the most competitive, we've done a fair amount of studying and research. But it might be more expensive than the modified route, and more likely to face heads up races.
