No other engine even gets my blood going, except that cammer I saw last month.

$30/hp but worth every penny to me.
$30/HP sounds too cheap to me, unless you making at least 800 HP, which is entirely possible. The Bill Coon heads are $5K and the Pond block is another $5K. Plus all those little expensive parts. I think you would be closer $40/HP.

This definitely sounds like my engine building methodology.

Yes, there's a small probability for a Cammer in my future. Of course, that $/HP ratio thingee would be out the window.

AFLAC!
