well if i do get it, i plan on doing a big bore stroker 324ci combo. i know its popular with some and not with others, but that is the combo i have always wanted. i know there have been some sucess stories and some failures. but for the price of the block/sleeves i am willing to take a risk and see what i can do with it.

just like anything, i know it wont run forever and the harder you push it the more chance of failure there is. but i am on borrowed time now for the most part, especially when i turn the boost up to 20psi and spray 100 or so in first gear.

its either that or an auto (th-400 or glide). i was really considering ditching the 6spd and going auto, but then this came up and i am really leaning forward on getting it. im still not 100% sure, but i do appreciate the advice from all of you and it weighs in my overall decision.
