OLD Modified Corvettes

Mike, thanks. If the ONLY difference is the cylinder head, then cost is only going to be between $10,000, and $20,000 dollars different. What ruined econo altered, econo dragster, etc. was they ALLOWED them to break the rules, and it is what it is today. Anything but econo. Brodix should have the final say on the heads. PERIOD. NEVER LET IT BE ANY OTHER WAY!. You still would have a lot of ingenuity in the rest. Clutches alone would save you thousands a year by limiting them. No sheet metal manifolds would be a plus. I don't care if you send it to Carl Foltz, you won't be able to spend more then $1,000 on one with NO EXTERNAL MODS. What's your thoughts on stud mounted rocker arms, other then Mopar? And .750 max. lift at the valve? I think it would take a lot of the cost down. And Titanium valves? I also own several sets of T&D's, and Jesel stuff for 23 degree, but think stud mounted is by far cheaper, and more challenging.
