i'm not very old, but i have already lost so much in my life already. Though i thank the Lord for everything that i still have. one thing that I have figured out is... if you got a great idea about something in your head.... put it on the ground. even it cost an arm and a leg... if you want it that bad... do it now. today's strength and resources might not be there tomorrow. I would love to chop mine but i don't think I would dare to hurt my favorite rig. so, my wife already knows that I'm planning on buying another one to use as a play toy.

if your next step is 350, what's the point of a 4.0?

something better than the 2.8 until the 350...but point taken. 350 would probably be easier to swap into something that already had a V6 anyway right?

i haven't a clue. i would ASSume (just "me") if it comes with a 4.0, then 4.0 might be an easier swap.
