I'm still running the original 304 with a two barrel. It would be a fun swap to do, but it will be a while before I even consider it. Time is something I don't have a whole lot of these days. Our customers from the oilfield are keeping me working upwards of 70 hours a week. Maybe one of these days...

Union shops are few and far between around here. If you're serious about moving down this way, I'll see what I can find out for you work-wise. Just let me know.
