if its a genuine v8 vl would it not be a black 308 engine.! big valve heads rev like a bstard . do it up keep the 308 it will go as well as a chev. also you will have to butcher the tunnel to fit a turbo tranz into it.

253 baby block. I love them. Awesome little revers and they respond to good breathing and exhaust tweaks. Used to build them with sleeves as 240 stockcar engines
