build it to last big block guys

I tell you..........Jim nailed it. CLEAN. When you assemble an engine, your work area needs to look like you're doin brain surgery. Minus any blood, of course. As for build specifics, I have always wanted to build a box stock blueprinted 440 magnum. Blueprint everything, right where the specs say it should be. I think the results would be quite surprising, and it would last a lifetime.
