i have a 396 in one of my cars and i drive it a lot in the summer solid driver i just have to stop at the gas pumps more then the small block guys lol they are both good motor

 

If you say to yourself BIG BLOCK 3 X then just get it. I would say a 350 but obviously you have BB on the brain so go for it. You know you want it so do it!

As for selling the engine I would not plan on getting more than $4,000 max for it. It's a buyers market right now.
