Love this stuff. I had a friend of friend years ago with a 34 sutphen with tunnel ram engines in it. What a beast. One of you Jersey guys probably remember the boat. Someone down there was Dave's "guy".

That solves the pushrod problem. If you build it Ill come! I'd drop coin on a config like that to try it if it came from a reputable shop.

I wonder what tricks Merc plays.

Great deal on a zero hour killer BBC.
