341 hemi in 1970 dart
I would never formulate an opinion just based on my bad luck.
3 crank shafts from three motors.
And the word of some old time car club guys who probably knew more than I did.
Maybe I bought an existing problem , but after two , you know I was asking questions.
Again.........they are what they are.
Run one , enjoy it and look good doing it in many cases.
You probably can make decent power with one.......I know you can.
But relative to today's motors , we are right back to " they are what they are."
I'll have about the same dollars in my motor as if I tried a well done 392.
I know what will be quicker.
And though it won't have a belt driven accessory sitting on top of it , it will be unique enough to attract some attention.
Sorry........no holes in the valve covers.
