I building it right now! I paid Joe Schubeck for a set of lifters in 2006, but I am thinking that some minor detail is holding back progress.
3 to 5 weeks, 3 to 5 weeks, 3 to 5 weeks, 3 to 5 weeks
Well I had a dream once, 2 liters, no sump, IDF webers, 1 1/2 heater boxes, medium cam, quality big 040s, your nothing special 100+hp daily driver.
Today my reality is a recycled 1600 single port, oil bath, points, fweeping muffler and 50hp. I am hoping for some sort of brain damage that will make me think this is cool.

Yeah some may call it overkill, but you can't have too much overkill.
