Anyone want to talk Chevy! LOL

Just my opinion. Had a 307 in a '68 Chevelle when I was young. I'd just clean it up, dress it up, put some duel exhaust on it, and call it good. Sure, they can be made to run, but for the dollars spent to do that, there are better options.
Did the 307 gig , '70 El Camino ... Was softer than a sponge. even with : 4:10' s and a good 11" inch 2800 stall. The 267 Nova , ate my lunch.
