Does it work great regarding the orginal small block.

Thanks

Thats a great replacement engine. We have sold many of those at my dealership with very satisfying results. Be aware however you would have to buy a new intake and flywheel/flexplate. The cylinder heads are the vortech design and require a matching intake manifold. The crank shaft has a one piece rear main seal and requires a different flywheel/flexplate than your stock one used on your 70'. The only other thing I can think of is the hole in the cylinder head for temp sender is smaller. You'll have to use a different sending unit. Other than these changes it would be a good drop in replacement.
