New or used?

So trying to decide how I want to rebuild the 440 in my 67' Belvedere.

Starting to think 6 pack which is a bit scary due to me my love had relationship with carbs.

I saw this for sale locally.

Now keep in mind the Canadian dollar being what it is, not sure how useful the other parts would even be.

Thoughts?

Go new.

The only thing I see useable are the intake and exhaust manifolds, valve and cam cover. Might be a hassle to resize the carb air passages if they do not work with your combination. The rest is what is left of a blown motor.

Hadn't thought about it in that context. Thanks

Best way to go is to buy a brand new set up from Summit, or from that guy in Indianapolis. There is also a guy in Albuquerque that has all the parts brand new but his prices are a little higher. Summit has all the parts totaling $2500 to $2800. Depends on whether or not you want the idle solenoid. I still have a brand new one I'm not using, if anyone is interested.

I just put a new one on this orange 69 RR, and boy it works great!

Get a new setup. Try Herb's, good people.
