Joe has been building engines for a long time so, when you have something you want to try out, get his opinion on it. He built my 428 for me 4 years and 22,000+ miles ago and it's still running strong.
When I first stopped to see him I told him I wanted to try for a big block with 500 hp at the flywheel and 100,000 miles before I had to worry about rebuilding it. He mentioned that, while it could be done, it would be fairly expensive. If I could settle for 450 at the crank with 100,000 mile druability he could do it easily. I went with his suggestion and haven't looked back.
