After all the crap that I've gone through with this thing, quite honestly I am suffering through a severe lack of motivation right now. I haven't touched the car in weeks.
I like the idea of just putting something in there that runs pending the finish of the real engine. Doing that will also help you see some real progress being made, which tends to "feed enthusiasm." With a low budget "quickie 390FE" in there you could get everything else up to the level you want it and then, when you're real engine is done, swapping it out is a weekend "labor of love." I think that's a good plan and that's what I would do.
