Not a good idea :shock: , that motor is worth a ton of money to #'s matching freaks. You can sell that motor for more that than your 73 is worth and build a much stronger motor with the proceeds :idea: think about it :?:

I agree....I took a 1970 512 casting 454 block and factory forged crank...used it in a bracket car and broke a roller lifter and cracked it.... And the mess that pumped through it got the crank too . It's still usable but is now .030/.030
