anyway, the engine is pretty much stock. low-end torque is where i have my fun (rock crawling). it only sees high rpms in the mud. i can get a good deal on a 470cfm truck avenger, so the quadrajet might find a new home on top of a 396 in a 1970 chevelle, assuming the guy will budge on the price. it's a sweet car, IMO, even though it's not a true ss.
