- So how does the twin-cam hold up nowadays? I know back in the '50s people had reliability issues with them.

- This one has a 1950 cc. engine with Webers, ourageous cams, and 12:1 compression. It holds up just fine as long as I keep it below 8000 :-) Seriously, though, the reliability issues were solved long ago and modern street Twin Cams can be built to be quite reliable if you know how.

- Good to know. I've always thought a Twin Cam Magnette would be beyond cool.

- No, I haven't had time to get the race car out lately - nor to drive down the west coast.
