Run it till it dies,, all the while searching CL for a replacement,,, look for whole trucks they might be scrapping,,,, I woke up my 77 351Measly with an Edelbrock intake and Holley 4bbl,,, still not a 460,, but it does everything I need to do!! AND it is the original engine with 98500 miles on it,,
