Yup will do. I have learned so much doing my first hp chebbie motor. I found out the truth about how you can't trust machine shops, or quality OE parts vendors,( not saying who but their initials start with Comp Cams and Crane). I found out how important is is to ask questions, and take advice. AND TAKE CONSTRUCTIVE CRITISIZM, with a grin.Not everyone will like what you are doing, and some will tell you a better way to do everything.
I learned Vortec heads ARE better choices than the 462's I have sank a wad into, but not as good as the Patriots I should have got. I should have 383'd it while I had it at that point where I could have done it. BUT.. its done, its mine and its gonna be a great test bed for more horsepressure down the road.
