      I was lucky and found a complete shortblock for 300 and I already had the head, so why have a bunch of parts laying around afterwards that I didnt need, so shortblock it was. It wouldnt have mattered if it was a A1 or A4, either would have worked well.

      It took about 10 minutes or so. alot of the newer Dremels overheat rather quickly, after they cool off they usually will start back up.

      For major work I use a slightly heavier duty version/copy. 1/3hp with both foot and hand speed controls.

      good luck on the build. i like your choice of products for the build. one question though. why did you go with a 11:1 compression ratio. wouldn't you have benefited from a higher compression ratio around say 12:1 with those cams?

      Well with the extra thick ceramic piston tops, flatface valves and .006" total decking she is just a tad under 12:1, that should be decent.

      Think of her as a female Dr. Jeykle and Mr. Hyde...the straight laced Librarian who becomes a true Mrs. Hyde with a penchant for mayhem!

      this build here is something i REALLY want to do, hopefully soon. This seems to be the best way well for power and torque.
