BB for SB...Your opinions please.

I've always been a small block A body guy so my opinion won't help much but I'll throw my two cents in.

A used 440 in decent shape should be good trade bait for a solid 360. When buying ANY used engine, unless you know the guy, it should be considered a core to be rebuilt. I bought a used 300/360 crate motor last summer for $300. The guy guaranteed it to be a "kick *** little hot rod motor". I'm glad I tore it apart...

Put an ad up on your local Craigslist describing your engine with some good pics and tell people what you are wanting to do. Then search CL EVERYDAY for small block deals. They are out there, you just have to be quick and get them before someone else does.

Good luck with your hunt!!
