I have the older 600HP version of the 514. It has not been totally trouble free as it failed valve springs after about 2000 miles. I’m told that problem is now fixed and in fact FRPP now warrants the motor for one year or 12000 miles.
I would never trade down. I have driven some really nice high HP small blocks, but in my opinion, nothing matches the torque or sound of the BB 514...Just my opinion.....
