Thanks Pete. I have looked at Southern Automotive and had nice chats with Bill Parham. Some swear BY Southern, some swear AT it. One issue about having the engine built (by anyone) is the degree to which they back their product. We (I and my buddy) are looking for c. 450 hp and maybe a scoop more torque---500 ft/lbs if that's streetable. Have you had your engine dynoed? I guess we're really looking for a appreciable number of builders for comparo shopping. You've given us a good start...
Thanks again, Pete,
