Keep the 300hp create or
my 73 has an OK running 300hp GM good wrench create motor, but my wife just totaled her 2000 SS camaro . the LS1 is rated at 320.
is it worth the swap.
can I keep the muncie 4 speed, hers is an auto, but with fresh rebuild and vette servo's.
just like to hear pros and cons

You can use the original 4 speed or put in the newer auto. It depends on what you want. I took out a 400hp SBC, and stuck in a ~300HP LS. Mine were two different animals. Big cam lumpy to smooth power. No leaks or tuning, starts and runs perfect no matter what -plus much better mileage. Just better for what I want to do nowadays - though I am planning to build a more powerful 6.0LS in the future.
It is a little work to put it in, but that Camaro has all of the parts for the swap - it is the most complete setup for a C3. You can even use the fuel pump. Just do a lot of research before you decide.

Further, true dual exhaust on a 73 is also better than what was underneath the Camaro.
