He's implying, NOT a Corvette engine, as I was told, " Don't feel bad many times the guys would stick in another engine to keep their car going" For what it's worth MINE has a Tonawanda engine also. Someone went spent extra effort to keep it looking close to original till I had to replace the old AFB carb for egged out throttle shaft holes and had to put the dual-snorkle in the garage storage room.
Mine is a "driver." Looking at other options for a little more SOTP performance.
Enjoy the Ride!
