You need to look up a 57 Olds with a J2 engine sometime. Not exactly simple. Three deuces can be much harder to set up then a fuel injected motor where you down load a program and let the computer do the rest. They could build quality if they wanted to. Quality hurts corporate profits. Just make it good enough to get past the warranty seems to be the new way. It's just like the shocks in our ZL1s not lasting. They just tell you thats normal while you are expected to shell out thousands for new ones. I guess GM figured they couldn't build good enough to get past their warranty so they lowered it.
