47-55.1 Does anybody use small block chevy's anymore?

1968 327 in my '51. Headers and a Edelbrock 600 carb. Simple quick and dependable. I maybe put on 1000 miles a summer. 12-15 mpg versus 20 mpg...not a big deal. 275-300 HP in my truck is good for me. $400 for the engine and a TH350 6 years ago fits my budget! I am a body man and did everything on my truck myself. I've probably got $6000 into it including the purchase price. For me, that was the way to go!
