It depends.... If it was a 5 blade fan, smog motor and had AC it may have troubles. If it is /was a '74 engine, has had head stud work done (time certs installed) they are solid engines and really fun to drive. I should know - I've got one. So, prevailing wisdom is if you're going to need a rebuild and stud work is not yet done, the better bang for the buck is to go with a 3.2. If you want to really build it, the 2.7 get's very expensive, so the 3.2 is a better platform to work from. I'd be curious to know if the p/c's & cams were changed when the carbs went on. If not, then the carbs won't really have much positive effect.
