Bo my friend, I am so glad I read you post. I just bought a 1970 454 coupe in May. For me it is the driving experience. You drove a '72. The horsepower was throttled down. My car WAS 390hp, 500 ft lb torque. before it was bored out 042. Now i'm not sure, but i may be pushing 500 hp, and you can break the back end loose at ANY SPEED! Looking out over the hood at the massive front fender flares and the functional scoops, it is quite the hoot my friend. Visibility is dramatically reduced due to the low seat position, further enhancing the driving experience. I have aftermarket hooker headers feeding sidepipes that scream. No muffler. Who needs that crap anyway? HA!. I suggest finding a big block, PRE- 1971, and check that driving experience. If we are ever in the same neck of the woods, i will let you take my car out for a spin and see for yourself. Good luck!
