I think all will agree,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,they just didn't perform that well with the
Hydraulic Camshaft and 'too friggin heavy' connecting rods.

The 428 Cobra-Jet was the way to go,,,,,,,,,,,,and for less money too...
When I took my 428scj to Lance to start on my motor, he shocked me by saying I would need some different rods. I said those were LeMans rods, he said they were too heavy. My block had a crack in the webbing, so I found a 64 T-Bird with a 428, bought it pulled the motor and sold the car. Sold the rods on EBay, came out pretty good.
