Should be post-73 is easier to find @ wrecking yards & the parts are cheaper new @ the auto parts houses.

A 'worn-out' posi rear is nothing more than a rear that needs rebuilding (not worth anything extra @ all unless the gear ratio is better for your application).

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.
