Don't blame you one bit Curt, I'm thinking about calling Bob Book about a small block for the Astre.

How fast are you looking to go with it. Only takes 600HP to get those things in the 9s. You can do that with factory block, D ports and N crank and it will last for years.
Would not be hard to build a long rod 400 that revs a little and makes 700+ HP. That would be fun
Might as well call it a Vega if you shove a small block it it. And unless you plan on a crazy high dollar, high HP small block you do very well against most small blocks with basic Pontiac stuff.

Same exact oiling system as a Pontiac BTW.
