I guess I got a little off topic and here's what I meant:

I have nothing but love for the EMC Poly build, it's something I would love to do myself but money, equipment and time aren't there. Nontheless it's cool. RAAM, your last year's engine build was another over-the-edge build and I was wowed by that as well.

Where I got off topic was my rant on the push (by the Chrysler Power mag guys and Pavlovich) to try to make the Poly the next big thing. As was said above that ship sailed 30 years ago except it was 50! The last 4-barrel 318 Poly was built in 1962. The LA was built in its place for equivalent power and 50 lb weight reduction.

So the hoopla about Poly "superiority" is misguided at best and deceptive at worst. The biggest results I have seen so far are a bulge in the prices of Weiand 7503 intakes and huge increases in asking prices for Poly 318 blocks that should be giveaways.
