'73 #match engine.. rebuild or replace?
350 burning and leaking oil.
i would like to keep it relatively stock.. this is a daily driver.
cost is a concideration.
where to resource a replacement, if that is the best option?
ideas??

Keep the original and buy a GM targetmaster (or whatever it's called these days) 350. You will come out ahead money wise of building the original. Then if a rod comes through the side during a 7 grand 2-3 power-shift then you didn't destroy the original block.
