Oh of course. Trust me, im building this engine slow and going vehicle specific when it comes to parts which is why I am taking my time and not rushing anything. The machinist I have doing the work has over 40 years experience in engine building and he and I have been planning this build. He is doing all the machining for me and then im building it once I make a decision on what car I am going to put it in. When I say I want radical sounding, thats just my style. There plenty of options out there that will give me a nice lopey idle. But the way im doing this one is from bottom end up. Im not looking to just throw parts at it and hope for the best because it has a big number. I build smart and take my time to research as well as try and talk to the right people
