I tried to edit the poll to include the L48/350/300 hp. but I couldn't. I should have left the hp ratings off. there are a few more engines I couldn't ad because we only get 10 choices.

I picked the L30, as the original numbers matching block is still in there... block's the ONLY thing original left, as it's now a 383 with scat lower end and dart iron heads!

Original is long gone but I'm trying to track down the last owner for info on the car and the motor.

Current motor is a Pat Musi 383.

My car came with a 350 small block, two barrel carb. I think it was the 250 HP motor.

My car is an original RS for what it is worth.
