I'd run it in a heartbeat! Just be SURE your mufflers don't have cats in them and add a little Marvel Mystery Oil to it so you have a little upper cylinder lube. \\;Avgas tends to have less lube than conventional fuel. I used to run it in my old street rod with Hilborn injection and 12.5/1 compression ratio! \\; Never had the first problem related to the fuel. The mechanical FI was a whole different story!

Big debate on this when leaded gas went away. \\; I had 71 Mach 1 and debate was with out the lead would you have to harden the valve seats. \\; There was never any definitive proof either way, so I just left it alone and it worked fine.
