...spill the beans. What kinda engine you gonna build ...
A smooth idling, easy driving, large cubic inch motor with hydraulic roller cam, and alloy heads. Powerband of 2000 to 6000 rpm. Snappy throttle response & wide powerband being more important than actual bhp numbers. A docile motor that can rip the rubber off the tires. Bruce Lee in a tux.
Which heads will depend upon how I decide to proceed with the induction system. I'm kicking around 3 possiblilties: Weber IDF carbs if I locate a Cain intake, long runner single throttle body fuel injection if Trick flow gets off their ass, or a Holley on a single plane intake (A3 heads/A331 intake). The last option would be updated to fuel injection at a later date.

Sounds really cool. WOuldn't consider two little tiny four barrels on a tunnel ram like what Marlin did would ya? To me it would seem to provide a lot of the benifits of the IR system, but still have the old school carbs instead of electrical this and that. I asked Marlin how he likes his set up but he never replied.
