BaDart no cussing in this thread. You said the "360" word twice in your previous post:-D You might be getting a nasty gram from the mods soon.
Really though I am happy to see this thread. Not everyone wants to or has the option to just build a______(fill in the blank). Some have to get the most out of what they have. I like to see people that do good with very little. It promotes innovation and ideas for everyone. I wish I knew more about squeezing performance out of a 273 or 318 or any engine for that. My 318 builds have never met my expectations but, I really haven't put in the effort to learn and understand what it really takes. I'm kinda like the guy that wants the super duper killer engine by just using more cubic inches and relying on hear say for my builds. Don't get me wrong I have learned more from this site than anywhere else:cheers: I'm in the process of building another and this thread has opened my eyes to start digging deeper to understand what it really takes to build a really reliable performance engine. Good luck finding the info you need and I look forward to reading this thread.
