"It ant your Dad's FE engine anymore" I'm not sure exactly what the intent of this was but it seems more like an insult than anything else? I would love to come to the KC open house If it was a couple thousand miles closer, I'd be there.

You must be too young to remember Oldsmobile commercials. No offense was intended I'm sure - just a cliche to illustrate the big advances in FE parts in recent years. Keith built my engine with a set of old steel hi po heads - my decision based on cost and that I was going for old-school, restroration appearance and not all out horsepower. It's a street roadster replica and I'm not going to track the car. I figure 470 hp and 530 ft lbs of torque will get me in all the trouble I need at cruise night. If your after high to max power then you obviously can't beat aluminum and need to go that way. That wasn't my ultimate approach - to each their own.
