an interesting way to spend your next few tax returns

Its Going to cost more than $10,000 Grumpy.

Kinda suprised Shaft Rockers are not used in this build.
Big Boost is real hard on Valvetrain parts.
 
Not pointing to this build Grumpy but I have noticed the Total lack of Custom Valves used in all Magazine builds.
Super High Temp Tensile strength valves.
Titanium .
Super Alloy.
Inconel.
 
Forums too.
Only your site has right resources.
I think many are into Glory Power.
Blip it a few times.
Get scared.
They are done.
You and me know Racing on another level.
 
YES ONE OF THE THINGS ALMOST ALL MAGAZINE ENGINE BUILDS, SKIP!
they purposely SKIP OVER
THE LONG MACHINE SHOP AND PART ORDER TIME FRAMES,
SHOP LABOR COSTS, AND MOST of the CASH CONSUMING DETAILS,
on the ENGINE BUILDS
little things like having to spend 45 hours porting the heads and intake,or clearance milling the block, or welding on the oil pan,to get them functioning correctly, or having to junk the original valves and valve springs and retainers to get the proper geometry, just get ignored
and concentrate on promoting this month favored part vendors product
most engine builds are at best thinly disguised advertisements for some vendor, or LIST OF VENDORS components
notice the list of manufacturers commonly listed in the article

youll rarely if ever see any detailed description of the valve train components
what the exact valve train clearances were the type of valves used the multi angle valve jobs
the back cuts on valves
what the part number was on the valves, or keepers, retainer, valve springs, shims cups clearances.
