After their 2nd or 3rd rebuild you'll be changing the oil for the fifth or sixth time.

Maybe that's true about the little Chevy that still doesn't run but my motor is way mild. Look at the specs on my cam it's only 660 lift and duration @ .050 is only 258/270 not allot for 496 ci. Mine idles at 800 rpm. I admit it is soft down low.... only 559ft lbs of torque @ 3000rpm.

Chris, yours should be a creampuff with the EFI and Hydro cam. Maybe too much of a creampuff

For a first gen you have picked the best power source, with that I agree.
