I'm a small block guy
That's too bad since I will probably have a spare 565 BBC by this summer when the new one goes in.

Congrats on the deal, and on getting your wife's blessing. Also looking forward to some pics and a build thread. So does this mean that the El Camino is up for sale?
I may have a deal in the works on the El Camino with another member as a roller. This would net me a great running stock Goodrench 350 for my Salon

So plans at this point for the Monte is to use a flat top piston 350 I already have assembled with a hydraulic flat tappet 488 cam, Edelbrock aluminum E Street heads 64cc, RPM air gap intake, rebuilt turbo350 trans with B&M Transpac, B&M 2200 convertor, 125 NOS Powershot, Champion aluminum radiator, Derale dual electric fans with shroud and temp probe, drilled and slotted stock rotors, Taylor braided brake hoses, stock 10 bolt 3.73 with a cover girdle, Moser axles, and factory limited slip unit, UMI rear control arm set, Bell Tech 2" drop Spindles, UMI rear 2" drop coils, 17x7 and 18x8 Coddington Crown Jewels, full tube headers and Flowmasters. This is stuff I already have here. Wanting a high 12 to low 13 second 1/4 with slicks driver. I will be using the AC system. I'll buy a steel cowl hood probably in the next couple months. I already have a set of Weld draglites 15x8 with brand new MT 26x8.5 slicks and lug nuts still in the package. I may swap to a 700R4 later since I have one in my shed that needs rebuilt with a mechanical speedometer tail. The car is white with maroon interior and may just respray stock color with new decals and get the new seat cover set and carpet from Dixie Monte. I was originally thinking of using a 400 small block I have here but going to use it in my 55 Belair

That's quite an accumulation of parts already for your new project.
