RE: Anti-poly vibes

[Steven Charette <stevec@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I guess from an "ease-of-build" standpoint, Dulcich may be right - you can
order just about anything you want from Jeg's or Mancini for an LA motor,
where Poly stuff takes a few phone calls and membership to a certain web
group to know what to order.  And the fact of life is that most of the
advertisers in the magazines sell LA stuff but not a lot of Poly stuff...

To take it a step further, it is much easier and cheaper to build a 350
chevy, and I've seen a few Mopars with that engine installed.

The Poly may not get all the good press and easy part availability, but
nothing worth having is easy.  I think just about everybody on this list
enjoys being different, and knowing something the general population is
clueless about.

Or we'd all be driving '67 Camaros :P

Indeed. I'm pretty sure it was Steve Dulcich from Mopar Muscle Magazine that
wrote a similar statement earlier this year about Poly (lack of parts, not
"worth" putting $ in compared to a LA, etc.) I wrote Mopar Muscle Magazine
an e-mail with some updates but have not heard back yet.

To Mopar Muscle Magazine's credit, they have online the full text and
pictures of two articles by our own Top Polyhead Gary Pavlovich: How To Give
A 318 Poly Engine More Power - Mopar's Rodney Dangerfield The Mighty 318
Poly Gets The Last Laugh!
* 318 Poly Engine More Power, Part 1!
* 318 Poly Engine More Power, Part 2!

Good luck with your cool project Rick! 

Thanks,

>She's no different than the vast majority of Mopar enthusiast, I rarely see
Polys at the major shows. I don't remember seeing a Poly in anything other
than a stock appearing car. Which is why I'm building a a bad ass '63 Fury
convertible with an equally bad ass 396 stroked Poly.
