Had a guy demand or
Tell me to put a starter in his car, so I did it.
After the car was let off the lift, the guy b!#$hed at me that the car wouldn't start. I waited until he ask why and told him it wasn't the starter, but the battery cable. Then he got mad and asked why I put the starter in. I said, "Because you told me to."
Moral is, if you are going to dictate engine components, you should know what you want.
I suggest you find a good local engine builder and talk to him. If you don't get that warm fuzzy feeling, the next place to try is the several club supporting shops we have. Ask them what they can do and for how much.
Whatever you do, don't venture into the cheby arena. I agree with Ernie.
If you have your mind made-up on who's the maker of your parts, you are far ahead of several people visiting this great site.
My last little bit of advice goes to, "know thy self and to thy self be true." It would be good if you know what you can and can not do and if you are truthful with yourself, you will have a great amount of fun.
