    dont see many old i/o's

    older I/O owner I just bought a 78 Convincer off of ebay and am going to pick it up in a couple of days. Its a small block chevy I/O. I'm totally stoked, however it has a cracked block. I have many options for the fix. Can't wait to get it home and start making it new again.
