Mike,
How good is the "good deal"? If you are saving a decent amount of money, I'd jump at it! My SVO block is not siamese bore and it's the 9.5" N351, but I have a few friends that are using the 9.2" SVO block in "street cars" that only get out late at night.....

I always seem to hear about how cheap used Nascar parts are over there. If that's the case, have you considered some old Yates C3L heads? You can get a single plane manifold to suit this combination from Ford, Edelbrock, RDI, even Blue Thunder now (I think!) Any single plane is easily converted to fuel injection when you're ready to go that way.

If you change your mind, but the engine is a genuinely good deal - could you email me please I'm thinking about pulling the 460 out of my old Fairmont and bolting an SVO small block with twin Turbonetics T-76 Big Thumper turbos. 1000+hp is the aim
