    I can tell you many guys PM me and ask about budget building there engines . And a Lot of them guys have very little money to work with . I do feel bad for them and even send some of them parts I have Free . And your statement about them working harder to get more money is out of Line . I have killed my self at work . And after paying bills thats what you have to work with-for your Hot Rod . And for the Tech guy he told me he is not an engine man . He is a track tech so how do you think he can port a set of heads ? He would have to buy some ! Car building is not only for the Rich !

    I never said or implied it was only for the rich... My point was that patience and saving money for the parts you really want is indeed a valid plan...

    My statement did not suggest anyone work harder... It sez that this is what I do...

    I would only request that you read my posts the way they're written and not read things into them....
