Ya think? Even though it's only a small block, and I'd be adding power brakes and air?

(because I ain't doing without that shit...I want a classic, but I want basic comfort)

Yeh small blocks are still worth money, matching numbers are getting harder to find. Plus if you really want a big block you can always replace the engine, put it on a stand in the corner and when it comes time to sell the car either replace the original engine or sell it with the car.

If you want to do the work get teh basket case, but if you want to drive it get the runner

Power brakes is literally bolt on ( maybe two holes to drill in firewall depending on booster )

I've never added air but I'm sure you could scrounge the correct parts easily enough.
