Different views for different people my friend... I agree for a stock daily 
driver, there is no substitute.  My original message had that disclaimer in 
it I believe... if not I'd be suprised since I'm Mr. Clarifier here <G>.

I'm lazy, I'd get take the whole car and steal yet another wiring harness. 
 In fact, there is a 1988 Buick 8cy station wagon sitting in my townhouse 
parking lot with 4 flat tires, and enough boxes it in to start a shipping 
company.  I left a note on the window "I want your car".

Why?  After I saw your post that you think the Buick 350 is a Chevy 350, 
I'm hoping that whatever is inside this car is from the same school of 
thought.  If not, that's okay, 8 cyl is 8 cyl :)  Jsut an idea, and its 
only a note, so I'm not committed.  Gotta love Bridgeport.

No argument here.  None whatsoever.

Well, not into the signature series idea, however how about twin turbos?

Last clarifier -

I suggested to that gent about the Holley Projection System simply because 
I didn't have the knowledge base to say if his older Buick 350 was Chevy 
350 compatible, and if the parts would go over without any effort.  There 
are some advantages of taking a carb off and shoving on a new carb with a 
few extra wires and a black box - its a easy, effortless job.  Charge it to 
your Amex, bolt it on.  After seeing some of the folks on this list admire 
the Holley unit as well as the limited experience I've had with it, its a 
neat upgrade, and that was the basis of my suggestion.
