Hell For four hundred More I BOUGHT my 3.4 engine.
I rebuilt my distb for free. Part were extra.
I'd say buy the 3.4 engine!
Distb looks pretty.
I'd spend $400 on a 1957-65 Corvette Fuel Injected distributor, tho. THAT'S CHEAP!

It won't work on our engines.
(I know, you're thinking "TomP's a stubborn idiot, there's the part #, installed, and it works- what's this kid's problem??)
When I say "our engines", I mean "our fuel injected or computer-controlled-carburetor engines". If you lose the computer controls, then you can run with that distributor. But $400, man, it's cheaper to stick with the computer. And like Karl said, rebuilding the stock distributor into a performance one is much cheaper! $400's a gear swap to 3.73's!

looks like everyone had pretty much the same feelings on it that i had.. it looks nice, but its way too expensive.. i just thought it was wierd to find this, when i was told there was no aftermarket dist for the 60* v6.. oh well..
