hmmmm decisions decisions.....well since i already told Jack i would buy that stuff from him, i don't think it is fair to back out of that. i don't want to make an enemy of him.

i'm actually, oddly, happy about getting a 374" and i think, imho, putting something that was done by Jack Vines into my motor adds some conversation piece to car. idk why, i just feel like it.

but if i had not already committed to buying from Jack...i would go the route you are suggesting and use my 352 pistons i already have along with the crank i have (its good still) in a new 352 block. and i would have to say that does make the most financial sense. good suggestion....but i am good to my word and i don't want to let Jack down.

what it really boils down to....i just want to get this thing going again. i want my son to enjoy it before he turns 20. LOL!

thanks for the sound advice though man! i'll just pretend that this dealer put in a 374 to attract a buyer at year end and move the last of their 55 inventory. LOL!

or as i have said before....the 2 door constellation is the Caribbean of the clippers......so lets pretend Packard gave it the 374 but only put a single 4 barrel on it. ;0) i could go on forever with this LOL!
