Soooooooo, I have made some changes in my plans. If there weren't changes in the middle of the build, I think I would be letting you guys down. the jack stands are now a part of my car. Waiting on a check to come from paypal so I can send it to the guy that has my engine in his shop.

Sold my A4 shortblock to a buddy who needed a good block.

Took that money, spent some more on a 410w in a good block with a bunch of extras, including a rear sump I need for my new AJE kit. Customer just grenaded his motor, so I sold him mine with the rockers. Took the money from the heads, spent an extra 50 bucks and got these Victors.
Now mind you, I have sausage fingers, so these mothers are pretty wide.
There is NO short side radius to these things. The air goes around the valve, and just kinda makes a loonnnggg sweep out.

I figured if I wanted a solid cam, no matter the size, I was going to be in the heads another 1,000 for better valves, spring, etc. Didn't want to spend it on the AFR's. Plus WHEN I wanted to go faster, I would need a different head, which would mean a different bolt pattern/location, and in the end, building a new set of headers. And since these will be stainless.... I'm not doing to the headers again. See how you can convince yourself to spend more money?
Next on the agenda is sell my ultimate converter for the C4. I sold the C4 already. So once they are both sold, I have a line on a PG with brake, blanket Neal chance bolt together converter. Difference will be approx 400 dollars. Stars are lining up around here lately and I am LOVING IT !!!! Not sure quite yet what the new goal is for the car other than not to crash it. But either way, my combo should be up to par for what ever I may able to throw at it. Pump gas motor ? :hmm:
