Was driving my "Refrigerator" around and it decided to start steaming off the right side of the car. Took it to my buddy's shop, got it on the lift and -sho 'nuff- I had a peeing plug. Unfortunately, it is the far forward plug, which means I either put in an "Easy, sleazy" expando plug or pull the powertrain.
Since I have automotive OCD, if I am going that far, I'm thinking of throwing in one of my 340's with a decent build or my '90-vinatage roller-cammed 360. I am leaning 340 for the simple fact it is internally balanced and the one motor if it grenades after two years, I really don't care. I'd put it together fine, it's just that it's + 0.040", I got it for nothing, and you can't do much more with the block now. I'd build a nice combo plant (Comp Xtreme 268, Performer RPM, standard electronic ignition & good 4-bbl. Slap on some TBC headers, duals, and call it fun)
..or may have to go the sleazy route, LOL
