I have a '68 327 Chevelle engine. I have done nothing to "make it run on
unleaded" except use a higher octane.

i may be wrong but---there's nothing that prevents you from running
unleaded gas now, the older engines didn't have hardened valve seats in the
heads and allowed carbon to build up not allowing a good seat after a long
while. Having a valve job and replacing the seats with hardened ones is
about the only thing done to an older engine to make use unleaded. Unsure
as to what this would cost. --wayne
