Agree - I bought a 73 3/4 burb once without a motor (was originally a 454 truck), but got a sweet deal on a running, propane powered 366 complete with the double t-stats. Ran it on gas and it would pull anything.

Later on I traded it for a 454, and after that I learned that the 366 had a forged 427 crank. I think that's why the guy wanted it. We were both happy in the end.

For headers, I just ran some ceramic coated hookers off the shelf for my truck.
