We rebuilt the original 229 that was in my Lemans but did not stray too far from stock. It was my son's 1st car and being an "uncool" dad I didn't want him having a lot of power.
bored .060 over
RV cam from PAW
removed cat
removed air pump
upgraded spark plug wires
Even with 2.41 gears it ran pretty well. It would run circles around the 231 Buick powered 81 Cutlass I had.
