I think that if I were starting over in a whole new area, or building a car from scratch again, I would buy a car I liked, learn it, refine it, learn to drive it, and figure what it likes. This person is interested in a high maintenance combination, and I probably would start out by locating and buying a good used stocker motor, learning how to tune it, drive it,etc. and that would save me a lot of time and money on that end of the learning curve.Building a whole new car from scratch is so much work, and a lack of experience at that point usually means that a lot of it gets done again with different new parts over and over again.It might behoove a new racer to think of that rather than look for castings, a machinist, a trustable source of information, and a whole lot of things. At any rate, welcome to the Stock Eliminator family, and don't get discouraged too soon.
