well Barry i must apologize also,i did not mean to come off as harsh either,thats why i hate these forums,there is no emotions to read into and its easy to get the wrong impression,i just think you promoting on every post your engine challenge status is like a little advertising shot,i understand your proud of placement in these challenges and do not in any way try and take something away from your hard endeavors and accomplishments.if i posted all my achievements then i would never get around to what needs to be said,i hope you see where I'm coming from,don't get me wrong,promoting your business in a professional manor is quite alright for all of us that are in the engine building business.that being said i was just pointing to some facts about the 105 blocks,how the 427 blocks came up i don't know.the report is defintly not for the 105s so it should not apply.having built many of these I'm sure you have used the 105s also,that being said i couldn't believe you said they were not of the heavier variety.thats all i was saying,evidently i said it in a way that offended you and i apologize.i just like to keep the post, fair and open, on the topics discussed and stay on the issues.that means when a person asks how to build a 600hp engine ,you or I doesn't jump in and say I CAN DO THAT,they probably already know either one of us can to start with,rather it means we should say heres the answer OOO x 000 will get you there.again let me apologize if i indicated any other position.on a lighter note,i hope your business is as swamped as i am down here,it seems that recession or depression doesn't effect the desire for horse power.oh,and id like to try that engine challenge sometime,looks like it would be fun getting to rub elbows with fellow builders and exchange ideas and the like,i guess thats what you do?or is it a secret society of engine builders looking to take over the world?(lol)either way it sounds fun(lol).talk to you soon.
