Its good to see the passion you had for your build that's probably why it turned out so sweet.
BUT If you made those mods and I had "no leg to stand on" then it's not the same combo and the rest of the statements might not be true. You may have gotten even more use our of your trailer.
Now my ancient big block is not targeted at peak hp or torque trust me it is designed FIRST to be reliable and durable just like it's ancestors that won LeMans. Blair regularly builds 900+hp FEs for SS competition so he and even I know where we left plenty of hp on the table.
