VT? I thought you moved to Oregon?

Believe me, I'm thinking about it! (The Webers, that is. Native Californian and I like it.)

Well, everyone thinks I should just build/buy a stroker. My fun-fund is pretty focused on remodelling my home, so the Cobra isn't going to get more than about $3k of upgrades. Heads, manifold, rockers... I'm pushing $2k already.

Just trying to stay realistic here.

I like the idea of Webers, but a new 347 stroker isn't in the budget at the moment. Webers definately has "fun" written all over it, and when I pop the hood it would certainly increase the impression ratio...

Surprised I didn't get some engine-building tips, though. Part of this is learning about my engine, and what goes into building one.

So, I guess I'm back to reading through my "How to" book on SBF's... unless somebody wants to pipe in with some engine building knowledge?
