Cobra Make, Engine: ERA FIA kit on order

I have my deposit in with ERA for an FIA and they should be starting it in a few months. When I went through the engine debate with myself I quickly realized that if someone is looking close enough to see I used a roller block instead of a 5 bolt block, they likely have already noticed the coil spring suspension and square frame. If I were building an aluminum, round tube car, I'd go through the trouble of a correct motor. Seeing I'm building an ERA I have a 302 and a Tremic TKO 600 on standby in my garage waiting for the car. It'll look correct, and if I blow the motor up while having fun it'll be nearly nothing to stick another 302 in there. But the heart wants what the heart wants, so if having a 302 will be something you have nagging regrets about, you better buy a 5 bolt.
