A 326-350 can be built to make very reliable power and last a very long time. I equate these engines to a SBC 305-307. They too can be built to make reliable power and last a long time. But why do that when 350 Chebby's are still around and a dime a dozen. Unless a factory HO engine, hard to make a case to build one. Bill Rink was a long time friend of mine, (RIP), he and a few others proved the 350 Pontiac was no slouch if you were willing to invest allot of time, energy and $$$$ into making it the little engine that could. IMO the saying "No replacement for displacement" really applies to an engine family designed to make low RPM torque.
