I don't have any experience with the Strombergs but the engine itself is practically indestructible. I bought my 75 164 in 1980 and drove it 16 years and never touch the engine as I never had to. The 72's should have alot more power and torque than my 75. Stay with the engine, the BW55 is not near the transmission that the AW70 or AW71 is. It would be alot better if the transmission was a M410 like I have. The 75 was great to drive and had plenty of get and go. Go for it and get the 72. That's my $.02.
