I just turned down a “good deal” on a 73 440 engine and trans today.
I wanted it. but my logic was with the good LA crates available and the possibility of doing this (5.7) there is no good reason to make the car nose heavy with a big block. (Unless all you plan on doing is going in a straight line. That’s legit)
