Thanks for the kind words, that build was probably my fave for a multitude of reasons but that shortblock actually spent the summer in a circletrack car with W2's on it and I didn't get my hands on the engine until the first week of September--for those that don't know the contest was always the first week of October. I would have loved to have had fresh bores with some really trick pistons/rings etc... Fun times though. Eventually the heads went on a 417 that I felt underperformed all things considered--555hp/539tq. J.Rob
