FIRST LET ME APPOLOGISE TO WIREDNUT FOR THE MESS HIS THREAD HAS TURNED INTO!
Steelcomp,
ya know...here we go again. You are getting almost as bad as Chit for jumping in and bashing people. The original poster (wirednut)has spent quite a lot of money on parts for his engine. From his parts list I'd say that our two engines are pretty close. I spent quite a lot of time emailing & calling Lem & Charlie Evans of Evans racing engines (Strictly 385 series) , and talked to John Kasse several times during my engine build. Both shops agreed that in the HP range that I was shooting for, the hi volume of oil and the oil mods to the block were a good saftey factor. LakesOnly was also in agreement with this, and helped me out a lot during the process.
So....Your opinion doesn't quite agree with Kasse or Evans Racing engines, or Lakes only....Or mine.
