" So you're pretty much stuck with the 232 six. You can rebuild the
" spare and even hop it up a bit

you could go for a one-year-only small bellhousing '71 258, which would
be a direct swap for your 232.  for extra credit, sonic check the block
for a 1/8" overbore [many of the '60s-'70s blocks are thick enough] and
install a set of keith black ic944 'stroker' pistons on '71-up 232/4.0
rods for a 275-inch six.
