In my opinion that is the bottom line, purchase from companies that have the resources and PRIDE to stand behind their products and regardless of what happens in the end you will be satisfied.

Prior to purchasing my current SPF with a Roush 427SR/TW I drove a SPF with a 460. With the 460 you could let the clutch out and give it no gas it would not even sputter, with the stroked Roush 351 it may dip a little if you do not give it gas. The 460 in my opinion had about as much get up and go as my KC306 in my backdraft. The Roush 427SR/TW would absolutely dessimate the 460 in any contest except pulling a boat out of the water LOL.

To each their own but if a car is not reliable it is not worth owning. I am sure there are very reliable big blocks out there but the probability of having a reliable small block with hydraulick lifters etc is substantially greater than a big block with flat tappets etc.

I also did not like the way the 460 had little ground clearance under the bell housing where the stroked 351 has ample. Never once have I ever came close to overheating and I live in Houston.

Best of luck
