The...- blandq

Agreed, I've experienced under-sized fuel supply in years past. I was looking to limit the dicussion to the mechanicals. For example I was day-dreaming a bit and thought; take a mild Ford 289 (short stroke), aluminum pistons, H-beam rods, forged crank and well balanced. That should be good to...- blandq
