That can be a tough decision......

as the 71 may have the more desirable deck height pistons. The 74 may have the more desirable "105" block, and D2 heads which SHOULD have the induction hardened exhaust valve seats. It depends on if you are going to bore it too. They should both have pipe plugs in the back instead of press ins. If you can measure between the cylinders on each, that could also make one more desirable than the other. you can always add hard seats to the earlier C8 heads, but you cant change the wall thickness on the cylinders. Look up the drill bit test threads to see what I mean. You may want to buy him new 1-49/64th's" core plugs before you go over there to allow you to check. You are gonna need some anyway. Do not use the 1-3/4" ones that come in all the rebuild kits, unless you plan on epoxying them in with JB weld. You should buy the brass ones for yourself anyway.
