I kinda wanted to stick with a carb anyway I was just curious, I'm sure fitting a performance efi system would be much more expensive as well. I don't know the nj cutoff date off hand I'll check though.

As far as the block itself, you think sitting that long would have changed any tolerences in Lets say pistons, sleeves ect? I want to clean it up and get it free spinning asap. Like I was saying before I have a good 5-6 gallons of evaporust, seems to get good reviews online, haven't used it yet though. I hope all the internals are ok. I'll try to locate the stamp this weekend I gotta get the good ole hoist and engine stand out of storage. Anyone know offhand the size/thread bolts I need for this block to mount it to the stand?
