Thats my opinion as well, i have a GN BRF 2004R sitting on a shelf, ill probably use it, put 3.31 rear gears in the 12 bolt, 28" tires.
Then refresh the 7.9CR 781 headed, 454 with a fuel miser HFT cam around 215-220 @ 050 and .530 ...Small diameter full lenght headers and top it off with a fine tuned Qjet and aggressive HEI timing advance and run it on paint brush cleaner 87 octane.
Its funny I get as excited to build a fuel miser engine as I am for a high performance build lol!
