If anyone has had an old LT5 and the Gen1 or 2 350 (ls1 too!)they are probably chuckling at the arguements.

Love the ol pushrod stuff too but those MM DOHC are just plain superior.

When assembling my 355 engine, 20 years ago...I put in a bum camshaft, and it drove me krazy for some ten years, another story, but I finally got around to tearing it down, and to my surprise the Cloyes double roller gears/chain had no wear showing....so I put them back in service.....

and so with a FORD (admittingly) pickup with 5.4 liter overhead cam V8 pickup, the super long chain guides broke apart, and damn nearly ruined the engine.....plastic of course, chain about belonged on a bicycle it was THAT long, and so I can imagine it with TWO cams on each bank...yeh, right.....not in MY car.....
