Ray-
One of the things you might want to talk to Joe about would be using a stroker crank (can't have too much torque) and running a hydraulic roller cam shaft.

Speaking of engines. Maybe this is a little off the point but my new BDR is going to have a 342R installed. It's polished. I read somewhere on this site that a polished engine runs hotter because it retains engine heat more than a simple iron or aluminum block. Is that true? It's not too late to get another engine. The car won't be ready until the end of the month.

A sealed surface could be prone to slower heat disspation. By polishing you take away surface area (atleast at the microscopic level )

Thanks for the tip! Peter also mentioned that to me when I visited with him over the weekend. I have it on my "shopping list"
