Life with a 377 ?

[738 driver]

Hi all,

Further to a very kind 'heads up' on the ideal Ultima SBC I wondered if you guys running higher RPM 377's would pass on your current experiences. Generally with regard to street manners and longevity but more paticularly the life of the valve gear/guides. Are you all running Jesel stuff or just stainless rollers?
All feedback appreciated.
cheers.

i have one but at the moment i have not done enough mileage to comment much.

it revs very quickly
Tim Adams, who builds lots of 377's for racing guys says Jesel stuff is not required for fast road use

the signs look promising but i need to set the efi up and do some miles before i can help further.
