Re: I got the engine in tonite!!!
Mostly stock, it only had 58,000 miles and we pulled the engine down and changed all gaskets and valve guides, but it looked real good. Changed carb to Holley 600, it already had the old dizzy changed, we rebuilt tranny from ground up, shift kit went in. Nothing radical.

Re: I got the engine in tonite!!!
Probably BETTER! Chevy definitly didn't pay that much attention to detail back in 70!
