You learn something new everyday. How long will an LA small block hold up at 550 horsepower

LMAO! Funny ****.

I can’t invest in such equipment. It’s not the price, it’s the worth and worth of return not to mention space limitations even if I had a 40 X 40 shop. LOL!

When I’m messing with an engine, all I want is a machinist that can get the base work needed to assemble the engine and meet the specs needed for an easy assembly. I love screwing together an engine. Working on the combination and then running the crap out of it.

If not being able to do the machine work is a disqualification for a home engine builder, fine, call me an assembler. I have always stated, “I’m not a machinist.” And I’m not! All the respect and thanks to those that are.
