I think most will agree that the engine basically is quite good. Aside from the changes to make it a 359, it was almost identical to earlier ones. I think most will also agree that the aluminum head was probably the weak link. If you have or get one, take care of things to keep the head in good shape. Many of the engines had the aluminum replaced with the older cast iron head if a problem developed.
