Ask your questions of someone who has actually built FEs and small blocks. Most of the answers you are going to get here are opinions based on something they have heard somewhere from someone who heard it from someone else. In other words a lot of BS from a lot of BSers. Call George at Gessford, Bill Parham, or Mike SFFiredog. All are knowledgable about building engines, especially FEs.
