Just juming on the engine swap band wagon. I have a 199 CID in my "70". I like it because it's unique but fuel pumps are a problem and they only spit out 128 HP. If I recall the 258 is somewhere around 160 horse.I considered a V-8 swap but have also considered just "upping " to a 258. How available are 258's and can the "three on the tree" tranny bolt up without modifications? What about the rear end? What is thew average cost of the V-* swap out? Thanks for all the info.
