couple strokes and a heart attack later my dad can't work anymore so I stumbled into a hot 355, e-street heads, cammed, port matched 2900 worth of machine work and assembly and roughly 4-5g overall it sound later, motor needs a intake manifold dizzy 6al carb or efi and the oil pump and pan and valve covers, I will need some kind of stand alone tcu to run the 4l60e I just had rebuilt last year, or a new tranny. But it seems I cant get it registered to street drive it after I do that unless drive it 4 hours every year to get it inspected where my pops lives. Need some input I feel like I'm skewed in what I should do I don't want to get rid of the motor but for what he's got in machine work for the 500hp area (what the machine shop claimed it should have) I could get a 6.0 stick a cam in, 411 swap and have all my factory stuff running and probably even have better fuel mileage and power.. and it would pass inspection everywhere...Am I crazy with my thinking that ls swap would be the better way to go even though I have a beautiful hunk of metal sitting in front of me? I almost completely finished my escalade interior swap so I still want all my gauges and stuff to work and would like to not have to cram a big tach in there pillar gauge pods cool though... just tough to decide which way to go, and there's always pulling my heads for machining, cam and do internals and turbo my 305, I got my comfortable daily driver (bimmer) old school (63 sport fury) and I want my truck to look sick be comfortable but still go run off on most stuff, I could always stick the motor in a 240 or something but that would put me to 5 cars and I already have trouble with parking what I have.. sorry for the novel, just looking to see about if I'm correct in my thinking, maybe even a push in one direction or the other...
