Do as we tell you -- most of us get paid a ridiculous amount of money to just give good advice. This one is on the house...lol

That's funny buddy !
Man, you must be filthy rich by now !

Building a 428 is a good option, but I'll see how much money I can come up with, selling the sprint car parts.

I'm also going to sell my last 1/4 scale RC sprint car. I wrapped it just like our 360 sprint we raced for years. Hate to but, the Cobra will make me MUCH happier !

Allow in to your thinking the fact that the internet engine builder crook fiasco, coupled with your health issues and medications, could be affecting your judgment. You might want to bounce your decisions off of the guys here first before you commit. We're more likely to tell you the truth, rather than what you want to hear.

Yup. What Patrick said. We are actually something of a family here and enjoy helping each other out and staying out of trouble when we can.

Going .020-.030" over on a side-oiler is generally safe with a sonic test.
