A couple of guys have tried it. Daran Summerton played with one a couple of years ago. Biggest problems, can't get the car light enough and it uses the small Rochester Dual Jet. Real small valves aren't a problem, the compression is a bit light. You'd be better off finding a Cutlass (78-82 but there are differences in the specs) or check out 2V and 4V 350s in Omega (they're Buicks).
