On my engine stand there is but since I'm not a Chevy guy (hence the GMC truck and GTO ownership) I wanted something with more torque for towing. It's just a thought and I would love to keep the TBI, unfortunately it might be easier to put one of the 454 TBIs in it....
I like the logic.
Truthfully, I'd do the same if I had a half ton.
