2nd try? On the cheap friendly comp?

This was discussed before.

This "On the cheap freindly comp" is based on easy stuff to do. A basic guide for the first timers.

Home ported heads are out because not everyone owns a air compressor to run a die grinder, not everyone owns a die grinder (electric included) the skill level may not be there, the first timer may also not have the guts to take a die grinder to there head with a good chance of ruining it.

It's that simple.

The manual valve body issue was discussed before as well. While it was not ruled out, I didn't think it would fit into many first time hot rodders or racers. The key here is that some of the cars may still be street driven. The question was asked and never answered. Here is the question again.

"How many people do you know (not heard of) that have purchased, installed and kept a manual valve body in there street driven car?"

Is a manual valve body a every day item that can be lived with, not noticed or barely noticed?

I enquires about the ease of installation and was replied to with instructions. I think it is a fairly easy thing to do. I have never done it myself being I own, drive and street race a 4spd car for the last 28 years and have never did so with a automatic trans car.

As writen, I do think a novice can perform the valve body swap. And again, for those that missed it, it was never given the thumbs down but just frowned on.
Because (again) it isn't something done by most new guys.
I myself would like to NOT include a manual valve body THIS time around at this stage of the game.
