Solo,
Let me know when you get an electro/pneumatic valve train installed in your F1 Farmall and it turns 19K rpm. That would be something to see. I thought they still made ME's take econ 101 and get cozy with the idea of rapidly diminishing marginal returns to the megabuck. That is to say, I don't know what you end up with unless you've found some way to make tractor pulling pay (remember the famous Briggs Cunningham quote: "The best way to make a small fortune in motorsports is to start with a large fortune."). Actualy, from practical experience flow benching FF motors, that cast manifold is probably the first thing you'd want massage. Would be interesting to stick on tubular, short zoomie pipes for grins, giggles, and torque to get that Big Daddy Don Garlits look. Dr. Evil makes a good point about the valve size, though, so that might be the actual choke point. Wonder how far you can go before you hit waterjacket. Jobs with a race team: Let's see, CART is looking at chapter 11 in a few months. IRL can barely get enough cars to fill the Indy grid. People I know around here doing that kind of work don't hold out much hope -- in fact, they're getting tired of the 80 hour work weeks. Maybe better to look in NC or AL, as formula good ol' boy seems to be a lot more prosperous. Good luck with the H, and finding a way to subvert the Cunningham paradox.
