Default Change in plans

So, I was looking at about 4 grand more, and a probability of NOT getting the car drivable by this fall, as I had hoped (unexpected expenses). I remembered a thread here where the advice given was to get the car running, then upgrade as time and money allow. I came across a 408w shortblock, newly built, forged crank, etc, but it's a 2 day trip (local pickup only). Back on Craigslist, I come across a complete, carb to oil pan, 351w with 2 hours run time. All parts in it are top shelf. Ported heads, roller valve train, forged pistons at 10.8:1. Ill be posting more as I crack in to it and have a peak. Anyone know the balance factor I'll be needing for the flywheel?
