Thats what i thought about it too. I almost refused to build this motor for those exact reasons. However, I like my job and I've learned a lot and had a lot of success in my learning process. I've built 13 engines so far and they've all worked perfectly. 1 of them is in a '96 camaro with a 9lbs supercharger on it, one is in a circle track car that is currently in 6th place in points, 1 is in my bosses boat, and my first ever big block is in a rail dragster that has done pretty well.
