I'll be able to do assembly myself and I'm going to see about someone local wanting to be a part of my plan and doing some machining, etc or showing me how. I can't weld yet but will be able to soon. Cars weight will be about 1400lbs with driver. And that's what I was thinking. Magnum is a great start not to mention high performance valvetrain parts are much more affordable. I was planning on running magnum style pistons with the narrower small end. Everyone else runs Chevy style stud mount rockers anyways so that would probably be better from that aspect. On the other side, shaft mount is much more stable and if you snap a pushrod you won't lose oil pressure. But it's all up in the air at this point, whatever I can get and make work is what I'll do. Once I get on the track I can get sponsors and start buying better equipment.
