As for me, I found an '87 GN 8.5 2 years ago. Cost $1400 and had to drive 3 hours to get it (You'd never think that would fit in a 2015 Dart 😁. Point being, it works for me. I gave it the once over seemed ok and have been running it since with no issues.It even had all new brakes and bushings and a shiney new coat of paint. lol For a street big block application it works and I dont have to worry about brreaking another 7.5.
