There are many threads discussing the two listed engines. I haven't found any that did an honest comparison. I have read that the 290 is a combination of wrong/misused parts. Has anyone used both engines that could provide feedback on which they liked better without modifications? No need to go into the vortec discussion, i'm just curious on these two engines.
