Teens are utilitarian. THey were used in A bodies, B bodies, even C bodies. E, F,M,and J. Pick ups, trucks, motor homes, and even boats. Almost every one of those had a 2 barrel on top and made enough power and torque to get the job done. Hell, they were even in Police Cars in the M bodies. Like mentioned above, a little basic TLC and you have a great runner. A 4 barrel and a distributor curve and you have a nice runner that can get close to 20 mpg cruising to your next out of town car show, and you can go from there with adding performance. WHen you start with a basic 2 barrel mill, almost anything you do to it will increase the "GO". Oh and it will roll down the interstate at 75 without breathing heavy.
