I sold my aluminum 1 bbls, 2 bbls and carbs long ago, MPFI works for me, there are better valve choices for slants than the 3/8 stem 1.7 / 1.44 valves, I saw your slant porting post where you said, you just trim the floor,,, and I will just leave that alone,, cross drilling cranks, have not heard of anyone doing that for a long time,
the slant that I run I consistently take to 6200 RPM, not cross drilled, standard half groove bearings, and the windage tray that I fabbed has not caused any issues.
I ported the oil pump and I take the time to properly align the oil pump and cam gear, so no issues there either.
So here is your chance to get this thread back on track.
There is no doubt that you are the all awe inspiring person to your self that you think you are. There is no need to convince anyone to think anything contrary.
