Please guys, don't hesitate to chime in on anything. We all learn from these post. I have put a big flag on all the things that Brent said, I had not read about the pistons tho. Geat head up.
I have two buddies that work for Roush/Yates, although they don't do FE stuff, its still fun to pick their brains.

Just for talking out loud purpose, I have made spray bars for Nascar mopar engines, that is a long tube that ran the length of the valve covers that sprayed oil on the rockers. I have EDM'ed holes in rocker arm studs for cooling and to lighten the load, I have drilled micro holes in shock parts that let the shock loose their oil on the restrictor plate tracks so the spoilers would be lower to the ground..... not to mention some micro drilling some holes in some carb parts... and NO Nascar never did catch it. HA HA!!
