Grab it. A '70 still had good compression and minimal smog stuff. You can get some hop up and dress up stuff for it too. You won't find things like tripower manifolds, but two fours I think are available, as well as tons of single aluminum manifolds, plus headers, etc. The turbo 400 is a known quantity also.

They are also pretty solid engines, with lots of dependablity built in. If you can score it free or cheap you will have done very good.
