LA top end rebuild question

I installed a Milodon in my small block 18 years ago and have no complaints. Its not noisy at all. Maybe if you had a stock motor with stock exhaust you might hear it. Timing is rock steady. I did mine with the engine on a stand, so drilling and tapping the required hole and set up was easy. I'm sure it could be done in the car if needed though. Did I really need it, no, did I want to try one, yes! Go for it if you got the extra bucks. Its your choice.
