Seems like Hysteric could tell us more than just "a lot of local guys " are doing it and we might learn something. In his post #410 , he highlights in bold type a sentence referring to budget minded, low maintenance engines suitable for daily driving. I was wondering if this was a quote from a person/ business offering these engines for sale.

Cryptic is his style.
The information is out there.
Finding a he people racing these kinds of engines is in print, current.

For the majority of people, building this type of engine is a huge PIA. Mostly due to lack of knowledge.
The engine build and giving the engine with parts to complement it for maximum performance leads to people scoffing at the idea. Most stating things they have no idea about or assuming the way the engine runs, car drives etc.

The mention of the engine being able to be driven on the street is a wide berth since the term “Drivability” is subjective to each person. If the owner of said car can drive it everyday without issue or complaint, it’s a street engine. Your agreement on the matter is not needed, nor mine, just there opinion and happiness.

I for one have not decided to run this route.
