Uncle Tony's response to Direct Connection

I dunno what those guys are thinking, they should have got a 360 magnum that runs out of the yard, slapped a car pan and a china intake on it. It would allready be running, and all the hackery like honing the cylinders with a 3 leg hone .010 over, surfacing a head with a battery, and whatever other nonsense they do to it would have been unnecessary. It's like they are having to work HARDER to get worse results.

maybe its Uncle Tony's "low buck" schtick, "look you don't need to buy tools" etc. I don't know many people who would work like that and, lets face it nothing is low buck these days. 20 years ago I could overhaul a 318 with $500 bucks ( and I think that included an Edelbrock intake so it was under 500 bucks). Not so much now . Now its a grand or more... if someone thinks a grand is low buck I can accept that, but keep in mind Im talking gaskets, rings, cam, oil pump, timing set etc. no machine work.
