Oh no,.....not anymore.

Mag-cased engines are now a $20K project for an experienced and qualified shop to do it properly; anything short is a band-aid.

'75 is a darned good year, especially non-CA cars that never had thermal reactors.

As far as the airbox and the pop valve, I'll defer to both the experts who educated me + what I saw in running both shops to say that any car that's in good tune equipped with an updated airbox with the internal cold start manifold won't have any issues.
Guess things have changed in 25 years. I did replace the chain tensioners with pressure fed tensionsers from the 3.2 model as this was highly recommended by most owners and mechanics back then. Once I had the top end done, with the Dilivar studs, pop valve, and tensioners, the motor was quite nice. There were definitely reliablity issues with these cars back then generally showing up around 50-75k miles which was reflected in lower resale values for non- upgraded cars. Most all 2.7's I run into these days have been rebuilt

Really! Granted, I'm 5 years out of date on a 2.7L, and the only other two I personally know of were my cousin needing something for the last two 910s. But he was working with some pretty virgin and reusable stuff from my stash.
