UPDATE: ARE 422 Longevity
Well all I can say is!! I'm still kick'n. I've driven the car from the east coast to the west coast, nonstop and back. I've driven it from florida (in the heat) to Canada (in the cold). I drive the car everyday in traffic, in the rain, and the motor hasnt given me one single problem.
I can honestly say that I've given this motor one heck of a test. I in no way, baby the car. I think thats what impresses me so much.
Well, I just felt like giving an update for those that might be considering a big motor build.
