the 74's and 75's would get you 60k if you were lucky.  then they put
steel sleeves in the alloy block and a 60k warranty on the engine.  When
mine croaked at 120k all the ones I saw in junkyards seemed to have
within 100 miles of each other on them.

Any-Way, some MAC might be in order!:  

All the cars I ever owned had 130 cu in engines.  Audi seemed to get a
lot more good stuff out of that displacement than GM...
