Re: 1974 CCSB build

KISS.....

Remember when you got the 74? Almost 200k on the clock & it still puffed right along (albeit while making a nightly mess). You swapped in a fresh power-plant w/TBI & things were never the same. I'm pretty sure I heard more than once "I should of just left it alone".

If you're on the fence, just get it going w/the sbc & do the LS swap after you've logged some miles & are ready for an update.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Yeah. This is the only reason the 350 isn't already on the garage floor.
