One of the best for sure. Right up there with 60-70s solid lifter 302, 327, and 350 engines with aluminum intakes and valve covers.

I'll be getting a 69 C10 this spring. It's one I bought in 1989 and gave to my son around 2012. He spent a ton of money on paint and body, so now it's absolutely pristine. Now he wants me to have it back for a while.

Anyway, it has a mild 355 I built many years ago that still runs great, but I had planned to convert it to EFI, such as FiTech or Holley Sniper. But I think I'll do some research on TPI.
