To each their own. Your car, your dime. Do what makes you happy. No worries.
I could stroke the 289 in my 1940 Ford Fordor, but it was running well until the electric fan stopped and it got hot sitting in the drivethru of an A & W. That is how I got into doing the heads and cam. The cam was out of a 351 with low miles. A race car it is not. I am looking for snappy ppepperformance on the street and where I can pass on the highway.
