Pont.
Just want to do it right the first time . Thats all. If I did want to put on a blower later down the road, I would not wan't to have to build a new bottom end. Just change compression etc.
Research saves money. One time I spent $2,000 on head work (SS Valves, guide plates, roller rockers etc.) only to find out later that the heads I did this to werent good candidates for this performance.
I am mostly just wondering what the best castings are. A block with good thick walls / water jackets, and a good alloy.
I do appreciate your input on the aftermarket 4 bolt caps. I didn't know you could do that.

Also must mention that every time I see that truck of yours Pont, I have to wipe the drewl off my keyboard. Makes me want to drive all the way down to K falls to check it out.
Thanks for your input.
