Wether a big block holds up or doesn't is directly related to how and how built and how and who is driving it.

I drive 'em like I stole 'em, small or big, same same! I DO believe the motor I have is one NICE motor, that has been neglected.

When I got the car the valve lash was .040 or HIGHER! I know the for a fact the guy I bought it from never checked it. He owned it three years! The damage was done, the roller was almost toast all ready. I'm very fortunate the damage is mostly contained. Makes a strong case for a strong motor!

I figure those rollers could have easily seen 10,000 BRUTAL miles!
