Re: Starting my engine build

Matt the whole thing about engine building is not to just build it "bigger" but to build the right 'combination' of parts to make them all work to the best possible final outcome. And also you have to define what you are using it for. Low range mid range or high end power.... they all take different 'recipes'.... Theres an old saying:

Just going BIGGER is not always better..... "Combination is King"...

So you may find yourself 2 steps back as 'Brian' mentioned above. Talk to people and learn what works.

Oh by the way I sent you some info on those heads.... those are some goodies! Grumpy Jenkins use to use those on his SBC racers pushing 600-700HP!
