Not Ranked
My engine will spend most of it's time on a race track and very little time cruising. My intentions are to raise my RPM threashold and run higher gears on the longer tracks (3.25 : 1).
My first FE was built by a shop in OKC that didn't know FE engines and it was junk (wasted good parts because machinist didn't know what area's to bevel, relive, etc.). I have seen Keith Crafts engines perform and they are very strong and dependabe as are George Andersons and a few others like them. These guys know what they are doing and because of that they are entitled to charge a premium for their services. There are tricks to the trade but their levels of skill are irreplaceable. You know the old saying "Pay me now or Pay me later", holds true.

PS-I am thinking of lower my compression down to 12 : 1 with piston modifications.
