But that's me.

Hey everyone, OP here.
Whew! Thought I'd go ahead and step back in. This comment resonated with me, as it really reflects the individual and passionate nature of these cars. Elmariachi (my H-town neighbor who I need to hook up with and meet sometime!) also stated that Webers were the last thing he'd do, in terms of build order. I'm just the opposite of both of these: the high-priced aluminum block would be fantastic, but just not something I would allocate the bucks on. Webers are something I want right out of the chute. So, we all makes our choices, as they say. To me, if I go with a 390 block I won't feel like I'm "settling" or something. It gets me into the FE family, and everything from the heads on up will be exotica (yep, you can go ahead and substitue an r for that x, by the way...).
It's all good....
