I wanted to give my first impressions of the new motor. One of the reasons I did not realize I had the #1 and #3 plug wires crossed is because it started right up and I EXPECTED a radical idle based on the cam specs. I was a little peeved when I first saw the cam specs because I did not really want a radical idle. Now I am glad I did not say anything, so I did not have to eat any crow.

Well, this motor is quieter AND smoother than the 406 crate motor.



LOL it's FIVE HUNDRED inches... what may look like a radical cam in a 340/360 or even a 416 4" crank motor is tame in a 500. I'm glad the lifters are not too noisy... I've had hyd rollers before that can be obnoxious, looks like Glenn got them right.
