Speaking my mind on this subject will probably not go over well here, but it is what it is. The new motor build will receive all the attention I can muster and it will be completely legit.

Right there with you, Rich... i have figured that out, too, but had already done that, before i even started my project...hehe... I will make a couple changes to my car( cam/valvetrain and maybe 350 trans) and see what it'll do , by next years' end, but i dont see ever having a 3k set of heads, or 1400$ ring package. I have done what i set out to do, which was to build what i call a 'legal stocker'... a fairly low budget deal, home built, and no real trick parts. Not even a dyno pull...hehe... My intent was to outrun the best E/stockers , from the mid late '80s, with similar parts. I have pretty much done that... Other than the cam, roller rockers and ignition, my car is equivalent to a 25-30yr old stocker...oh, and the fuel cell... If indexes woulda never been messed with , I'd be .51 under! Also, i miss my open trailer,but like not having to unload at 2a.m. in the morning...hehe
