What should I be concerned about installing a 1500 X19 FI engine in a 76 X,
I will use a 34 datr carb and the 76 intake maniifold or would the 74 manifold be better. I do have the ability to port match the 76. We will use the 4 speed trans and all smog equipt will be deleted. Only other engine mods at this time will be to shave the head for a bump in compression, if I leave the block alone how much should be taken from the head? I will use the original distributor and add a pertronix unit since it came with the car, should the vaccum advance hooked up or disconnected like we did with our 74 128?
Thanks
