Thanks, it sounds like youve been there before. Ive tossed this around in my mind for about 6 months now. I grew up during those years and one of the most common things to do with a 396 after a few years was to pull it and put in an L88. Ive had chances to buy NOS L88 shortblocks because Id still like to put it back to stock. All in all its still an investment. Id like to get as much for it as I could in the end.

Thanks for the profile...although it may turn out to be somewhat of an investment...make sure you do it how you like it....who knows what cars will be worth next week let alone next year.

When I was 15 I bought my first car a 57 2dr Belair. Fixed it up and sold it and bought a 64 Ford Custom 427/425 when I was 16. Fixed it up and sold it and bought a 58 Vette when I was 17. By the time I got to be 18 and a senior in HS I had made enough on the previous cars to buy a new 69' Nova SS 396/375. While I dont think I will make that kind of money on this Camaro I still hate losing money on cars. I look at it like you would war. The battle is won or lost before the 1st shot is fired.
