I built a .060 over 235 motor for my '55 B/A car & ran it for 130K. mi. before replacing it w/ a 292. It did great, running daily in summer temps of 115+ on the I-state at 60+, up 4000 ft.+ climbs, just a great little motor. Wanted a bit more power is only reason I repl. it. Had no noises or oil consumption when I pulled it. Used normal rebuilder quality parts in it, no hi dollar stuff. Sold it to another member of this site. Doug
