Crazy Gregg in Ft. Lauderdale puts 10,000 hours on his boats before he buys a new one. He drives Sonic's for the wide walkways to the bow. I will call him for some engine stories. He has a charter business for performance boat rides.

how bout 85 hrs on my first 383.. valve springs broke, valves seals gone, roller rockers rough shape.. Everything else looked great..
this years 383 had 45 hrs on it, valve springs broke, valve & seats beat to death. not to bad for a strung out small block.
Naaaa i don't drive em hard
if it is ever below 5000 rpm.. it must be docked
