Kyle,
I don't know anything about how often big block Chevy's need adjustment,
but
all the poly's I've had in the family were incredibly trouble free. If I
have
one shortcoming, it's that I'm not real good at keeping up on maintenance
(it
borders on abuse).
I do have a sensitive ear, though, and I can hear when a motors' vavles
need
attention. And I notice lack of performance when it's about time for
another
tune-up. And I can tell you this. I've put a lot of miles on polys and
hardly
ever have to adjust the valves.

My gut feeling is to go with the Solid. BUT..as always, I have a good buddy
that
said, and I quote," If it's anything like a big-block Chevy, With a solid
cam you'd better
set up a day every two weeks to adjust the heads." End of quote.
His reasoning is that the Hydralic Cam will make the Engine
last longer in a daily driver, and be less maitenance. Does that make
sense?
I know it sounds like I want someone to else to build this motor for me,
but I can't make up my mind. Both ways sound good!
I want to do the Poly justice, but I DO NOT want to be adjusting my motor
every month,
if that's the case.
HELP!!
Kyle
