I was hoping it would be better

Race with the Aspen... not likely. The 360 is going back in with a mild cam and the A/C reinstalled!

I love the car. It's a lot of fun to drive.

The crank has a lot of build up on it. Luckily I have a freshly ground crank in a box under the bench.
Well the bearings suck , but like the car ! Think I'd like to find a nice RT Aspen , don't see many at all . Good luck .
