Valid points. I just kinda despise small blocks. Everyone and their grandma has something with a small block in it. Same with LS engines. You know how many times I've heard the phrase "LS swapped"? Way too many lol. That's exactly why I'm in the process of building a rat rod with a 500 cubic inch Cadillac engine in front of it.
I got the 250 running decent again, for now... Points were barely opening. Fixed them, and went ahead and ordered an HEI setup for it. If it ever gives me grief after the HEI swap, I'm pulling it.
