I've had a 447 cubic inch FE with a solid flat tappet cam in my car for the last 15 years. It looks, sounds, smells and feels exactly as you would want. BUT, you have to be a moderately talented mechanic or it will be in the shop a good bit. I've never had her in a shop and don't even know who I'd take her to if I had to. So, if you want the truth, you don't have to be a super-mechanic, just be moderately talented. Either that or have a shop that you trust near by.
