My son has been talking about motors now. Not knowing much, I am leaning towards a Chevy Crate 350. He is a 19yo kid with a light foot and a good head on his shoulders, but still a 19 year old kid. LOL. When I was his age I had a 65 Ford Galaxie with a 302 and I pushed it as often as possible without my old man knowing, so I think the apple won't fall far from the tree My reason for post is simple, given the age of the driver and the experience level, looking for opinions on what to go with. I know, this is opening a can of worms and there is no right answer, just looking to start a conversation and see what you all think.
My opinion is, a new Chevy crate 350 short block, and let him put his touches on it. Intake, Exhaust and all the stuff he wants.
