[Chevelle-list] fender question

[rml438 at comcast.net]

Thanks John, So in your opinion do you think i should have my 283 rebuilt.Or should i spend the extra money and go with a new motor. I've spent alot of time in the engine compartment  and it looks really good. My 283 is a leaking, smoking mess and I really wanted something that looks good.  I was thinking there would'nt be much differance in cost. Or am I mistaken. Thank you all so much for your support. I dont think I  could do this without ya.
