Well I already have A copy Of Santucci's book. But while the engine has not been rebuild it has relatively low miles and I took it apart and everything looked good. That I why I put it in in the first place.It replaced my 65 Chevelles stock 194 even though it only had 61,000 miles on it. I am trying to avoid a total rebuild though -I know build one of these engines for cost won't work-But I had a perfectly good 4 bolt V8 I could a thrown in-I am just a bit more loyal to these Engines. I want bolt on parts though so the car isn't laid up for a while-It's my daily driver I take to work and school. But what about this Nitrous -The stock block will take it? How Much is too much? I found a Quadrajet NOS setup I was considering but I didn't think she would be so happy with it being bone stock and all.
