That's what I'm counting on...:thumbsup:
Will likely go hydraulic to keep costs down...flat tappet means a whole bunch more valve train $$
No, but it's kind of a 'pay-as-you-go' project so it's moving slow. Frankly, I've already spent more than anticipated by buying new pistons and having the bores punched, and with aftermarket rods looming on the horizon I've blown way over any projections already so I'm winging it at this point in time. If I had performance equal to or slightly better than the old build I will be a happy camper. Attributes I can't deal with? Buying 'racing gas' (why I changed pistons) hard starting in cooler weather, and ridiculously poor gas mileage as with my prior build, although this is a 'fun car' so that's not a limiting factor.:popcorn:
