If you step to a Gen 3, you get better performance, better mileage, 6 bolt mains, can withstand a lot more serious mods on the factory fuel system and efi. Cost MIGHT be the only downside.
Because the associated cost is far more than I want to spend. Yea, I'd love to toss an ls motor in there....but it'll run just fine with the boat anchor you referenced earlier. I mean.. it was only hot rodded for about 50 years so there hasn't been much in the way of parts development for it.
