Damn Brain, That makes me feel OLD! You're absolutely right, back then tire smokin' SBC's for a buck or two per horse. And, your advise is spot on. Good set flowing heads, cam & valvetrain, ignition, headers, and intake and carb; MATCHED is best "bang for the buck" for a street performer with a stock block.
P.S. Remember 101Sunoco or Amoco "White Gas" at the pump for around 50cents!
