I get where you're coming from but I'll take the increased efficiency & accuracy of EFI over that 'old school driving experience'. Saying that..... the newest vehicle in my fleet is a '99 sbc/Vortec head/4l80e powerplant. Next newest is the 454 tbi in my Squarebody dually.

Are they old school?
All my others are carbed & I drive them 'year-round'.

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.
