yes! by all means,they are getting harder to come by these days. There is a guy with a stock425 caddy,in an old k-88 dragster chassis, that turns 6's in the 1/8 mile easy, and is having a blast with it,1st,and 2nd gear only!! An A sedan or roadster would be a real bomb with one.1 Get it Get it!! I wish i had one close by!! good luck ttyl, Glenn

Schrader's in SoCal makes adapter to put the early valve covers on em. And I've been working on a 2x4 and 3x2 manifold for the 472 and 500's. No substitute for cubic inches!
