Yeah I've had a problem when my heatercore went, some of it was due from the coolant smoking out the vents, but other than that I have had problems, not alot, and I wouldnt call them problems, but if you are having pesky window problems, is it really worth it to remove a whole bunch of junk just to save a little weight? For a racer yeah, but for a car driven in the summer mostly around town, forget it, it's dumb IMO. You're not making enough power if you're driving around the streets and worried about weight lol.
and my cutlass has a 5L Chev., till that gets yanked for a 350 or stroked 383.

my friend has a 350 in his right now... I like it man.
He had a 400 before, god damnit that thing was torquey. Would roast the tires if you give it a bit of throttle. But he dented his oil pan and scouring the walls, spun bearings, etc
We might decide to rebuild it, once we check the measurements to see if its serviceable
