If we're spending Brent's money, for $2,800 and "little" manipulation of the headers/exhaust, I'd buy some Blue Thunder Stage X heads.
Have I told you about getting some magnesium wheels for your new ride too.  |

I think the valve size is a little too large for a 390 bore.

Oh-forgot that 4.08"! Shelbys are 2.25's x 1.78. My bad.

If you play your cards right, say 5 promised SFT customer builds, you might get Pat to ante up for some gratuitous Genesis blockage. That'll take care of your tiny bore syndrome.

I'm already thinking about your subsequent build when you determine that the 390 isn't enough for you.  |

I predict that Moneybags RodKnock will have you building him a cammer in the next year or so. Especially if his portfolio rebounds as expected....  |

RodKnock, I thought you were going to throw in a set of magnesium rims for Brent, you know along with that pending order.... 
He'd probably give you a great deal on a cammer next year.

The Cammer won't be this year or next for me, for that matter, neither will the mag wheels. |

Patrick, you got that bumpstick yet?
I got the one that I ordered for the Boss 528 engine the other day and I think I ordered it just a few days before you ordered mine.

Not yet. But I won't dawdle getting it out to you once it arrives. Is the block all cleaned up and ready to go? |

Well I guess that means "No."  What stage/condition is the block in? Have you sent it out to be hot tanked or machined yet, or is it still in "rough and raw" condition? |

Sorry, force of habit. Since I've convinced you to go SFT (and presumably the block is drilled for hydraulics), are you going to plug the galleys like Ford did or leave them open? |

Why bother? The cam is just going to "whittle away" anyway.
I think Patrick has been keeping himself busy setting up for the photograph of the camshaft in his hamds with Ellie in the background. |

Well, I won't let Ellie chew on it like a bone. Seriously, there is a difference of opinion on the "plug the galleys" issue with FE engine builders. |

I find it awfully presumptuous to think that Brent doesn't know what he's doing or are you on a fact-finding mission for your next build? |

Yes, the block was drilled for hydraulics.
I'm going to leave them open...
