What's the story with the 353' 09 blowing front bearings. At our Nat's in October a number of 353's had front bearing problems. Does the 3SCT have the same problem? .... I note the 353' 09 has a metal sealed front bearing others have a rubber sealed bearing. Most of the guy's with bearing problems used RB front bearings as replacements.

I am in the market for a new engine and aren't yet convinced to buy the 353' 09 or to buy the 12-3SCT... any ideas on which way to go...
