Oh boy, I need pixs of all this.  Myplane goes to CPS tomorrow am and I will 
commence installing whole system in a big hanger full of Merlins, King Airs, 
and  A/P's  who want to help in the successful completion of this Baby!  Sorry

one last ?  On my custom build engine do I want steel heads rather than alum. 
so that I can carry a rear seat 170# passenger without  control problems..  
I'm already using a bowtie steel block.  Presently all components are rated at

800hp  and I'm looking for 450hp at 5500rpm.  Ken

        You are right, this whole thing gets to be intimidating.  But, one 
step at a time, it comes together.( I think). 
         I am using a "BowTie" block with a stroker nodular, forged crank and 
oversized journals.
the heads are Edelbrock Victor Jr. alum racing heads.  The Cam, I can't 
specify, but it is what we use to call a Torquer.
    The engine on the Dyno, with tuned exhaust turns 455 Brake HP at 4200 RMP 
(~2100 on the prop) and 495 FP torque = 990 FPTorque at the prop at that RMP.
      I'm told by the gurus that I'll loose ~ 10 % when I go to the straight 
stack exhaust.   I think that that is more than adequate.  I expect to take 
off at 2/3rds power.
     
                                           ED, CHIP IN HERE!
      I'll get some pics to you in the next few days.          LRE
