My buddy (I guess that's what you could call him ) JTRUX has the GMPP 260HP 350 crate in his 71. From what I can tell it has plenty of power and get up and go even with 3.08 gears. He will probably chime in with more opinions. It seams like you get a quality package when you buy one of their crate engines.
