While I agree with your reasoning Jim, he's looking for a 300ish hp street cruiser on a budget. He already has a TPI motor in the car, so all the wiring, mounts, etc are ready to go. Having a mild 355 long block built will satisfy all of his needs/wants well within his budget, and get better mileage than the big block as a plus.
