500+ci Builder

I assumed that labor and machining was not included however the results were far in excess of what I'm asking for. My budget reflects for labor and machining, may not be as much as a builder would like to have but they are free to say "No Thank You" and look for a more lucrative job. Did you cheat?

Did I cheat? Now we're having some fun. Nope! But I did get penalized, as per the rules, for spending too much money. Had I not spent the extra money, the engine would have been completely destroyed when Comp Cams forgot to turn on the water to the engine for the dyno runs. As it was we had to rebuild the heads and run with collapsed rings and bent valves the next day. Still she made 730 HP in that condition.
