except muscle cars were just regular old shit boxes like the lemans, the malibu, etc with big engines tossed in them.

the only exceptions being sports coupes (not "muscle cars") like the camaro, mustang, barracuda etc.

By installing good parts (like poly-lock racer arms) and putting good synthetic oil into it he has no reason to have to adjust them. They don't clatter (any more than a solid lifter will) and his car runs like a top

My 1972 Chevy 350ci engine has 200,000 miles and has never been rebuilt. Old cast blocks and carbs are more finicky but they last a long time and are incredibly cheap to repair and maintain compared to new engines.

Moat ran hydraulic flat tappets and not solid lifters. Only the HiPos did (Hemi, Cobra Jet, 427 Fuelie, etc) and even then that didn't really affect reliability if you didn't change to some insane pressure valve springs. Do people not know this?

He's the reason the SEL existed.

Don't worry, I plan to use replica parts and keep the originals as they are.
