Should get great gas mileage to. Plus later on im gona swap to an older model head so that i can change to a diff intake and carb. Kinda thought about doing a throttle body setup. First things first though _________________________

I dropped qa 69 6 in my 77 van that had the modular head 6 originally. It was almost like swapping in a v/8. Very noticeable difference in power and low end torque. Good to hear you are keeping her. Call me next time you are passing through this way. .......Wookee _________________________ Its a "Van Thing" A life style you have to LIVE to understand! Vintage Chevy Van Club

I hate the carb thats on this thing now and i dont like not having the option of changing intakes. May go ahead and change the cam while im at it. With all that being done and having that 5 speed it should cruise nicely _________________________
