One of those "farmers" is a guy who forced NHRA to re-write their rulebook
for D-Dragster about 30 years ago--because he built a billet Al head for a
Ford 300 I-6 which used Elephant valve train parts and 2--3/4" Hilborns.
Now, he builds billet steel heads for Deeres that will stand 150 psi of
boost !!

Jan's Ford motors used to go through a crank every 6 or 8 runs, until the
Ford comp guys taught him to keep the revs above the cranks primary
torsional resonance frequency !

This list is NOT restricted to "daily use" stuff. Next you're gonna be
telling us "That won't pass smog !" as an excuse for injecting your $.02
into the conversation.

Do I hear an echo??

I'd rather use something that's FREE !!

Take a peek at what Porsche did with their 959 for more ideas. Also at VTN
turbos.
