Cool Mike, can't wait to see how it performs! Still think you outta stick with the M6 though 
I beat ya to starting a new build though, dropped my 4-bolt block and a brand spankin new 3.875 crank off with Patterson Racing over a month ago, and judging by their progess so far, it looking like I'll have my junk back and ready for assembly likely in late Jan or early Feb
See ya Sept 3rd!

Lol Sorry guys I was in a hurry when I posted this.
Going to be my same top end(for now)
New 383, half filled, 4 bolt slayed caps, forged internals, 12.9:1 CR -5cc pistons rings gapped for 200+ shot. Built by Speedinc, New LE cam 244/.252 .640/.640 110 LSA
Once I put it back in Speedinc will dyno tune it!
Built th350 4000+ stall
Other recent mods are Drag radials are back on the car, Madman valved AFCO rear shocks, UMI upper and lower A-arms and that completes the chassis.

Good man, I was hoping you'd upgrade your cam
That ride will haul the mail, when your done. (with this round of mods)
When you replace your upper control arms, is there any weight difference between the UMI units and the factory units?

Totally agree with Joe, the UMI K-member is lighter than stock but by far not the lightest on the market. With that said Ive never heard of a UMI k-member failure, and have seen it on almost every other brand. Plus they have a double tubed center section that will save a lot of parts if you come down hard from a big wheel stand. Upper a-arms dont save much but they work better than stock and how could you leave one part unchanged.

Joe, you have a PM.
This past fall, I installed a set of their front lower a-arms, and they were a lot lighter than factory. I had thought about doing the uppers, and I just wasnt sure if it was worth the money, over weight savings.
