Planning my build. Phoenix, Az need some info and leads.

I definitely have read up on the Magnum vs LA style intake bolts, which is why I went with a pair of eq318 heads, drilled for LA intakes. It is also why I am interested in the Trick Flow 190s, as they can be used on either type of block, as long as you kit it out with the correct oiling parts in the valvetrain for the application. So both of my intakes are LA style, on purpose. I appreciate the information all the same.

I know of Kelly's machine, as they did the machining on my 1963 Buick 401 Nailhead I built for my Model A project. I was happy with their work and am considering them or Morrison Machine as well in town. I understand Mauer left, which is why I was hoping there was a guy like him in town or like IMM Engines that know the Chrysler Small Block specifically. There are always tricks these brand specific machine shops know, so I was looking for any gotchas they could point out that I might overlook when building for my application.

As for posting the build, I might do that in the build section, again, I don't want to ruffle anyone's feathers on this site since it isn't an A body. Though, I am building this as I would an A Body, going as far as to attempt to get it as close to a 50/50 ratio of weight distribution front to rear by using scales during the mockup and fabrication work.
