hey guys i'm new to the sight. the last car i built was a 70 nova. i'm not an expert but had good help. as repayment of a debt i recd' a 73 luv, a vortec 5.7, and a "good luck man". i know an excellent fabricator who will help with the mods. i'm coverting the engine back to a carb and just want to keep it simple. my grandfather passed this april, he had spent 32years as a gm employee. he would love that i'm doing this and so ido it with much pride. want to keep it street legal but race car power is a must. any replies appreciated.

You'll like the vortec power . Convert to a carb and put an lt-4 hotcam and roller lifters in it . Pretty good mix of stock and V-8 luvs here . Everyone gets along good and always willing to lend a hand . Welcome to the site. Pics are always welcome :wink:
