    IF YOU ARE BUILDING THIS ENGINE FOR STREET USE AND IT WILL HARDLY EVER SEE THE DRAG STRIP THERE IS REALLY NO NEED FOR SPLAYED CAPS.

    Pat I have thought about that many times and I want to but I dont know If I can aford to do it the way I want. When I do it I want to go all out. I am going to sit down and figure out how much it would cost for the both of them. And Erik just because it will be street driven dont meen I wont drive it like I am on the strip. If I build something and put the money into it I want it to handle most conditions

    WHY SPEND MONEY ON A SPLAYED CAP ENGINE FOR STREET USE?OUR SHORT TRACK 383 TURNS 7,200 LAP AFTER LAP AND GUESS WHAT STOCK 4-BOLT CAPS WITH AN ARP STUD KIT.OUR CIRCLE TRACK ENGINES WILL SEE MORE ABUSE IN ONE NIGHT THAN A STREET/ STRIP CAR WILL IN A HALF A SEASON.THE WORD IS CYCLES.A STREET/ STRIP CAR WON'T HAVE NEARLY THE AMOUNT OF CYCLES ON IT AS A CIRCLE TRACK ENGINE.
