Not much I figure.
Don't get me wrong. It's a cool thing to have and show people the swap. But it's not a must.
A really clean engine compartment with a carbed 350 or 454 would be just as cool!
If I were to do it again.... probably a 454 (or 383 for easy tranny mating.)
Keep the th350 or get a 700r and buy a cheap ($50) adapter to mate it to the np205. I like cruising and saving the work from shifting.
