your not part of the chosen few

But im clearly not building this myself. Hollis Page will be.

It's hard to communicate via the interweb, especially when the topic is as detailed as what you want.

On top of that, you are like a fart in a skillet. You are all over everywhere. I'm old enough to tell you've I've seen this before. You want to know it all, and know it now. It doesn't work that way. When you struggle with what compression distance is (nothing more that stroke length/rod length/ deck height) and mix things together, no one has any idea if you are actually teaching with what you are being told, or you are getting more confused.


You need to slow down and realize you won't learn this [censored] in a year. Or a decade. It's a lifetime of learning and it only stops when you quit or die.

You need to take this like eating an elephant...you do it one bite at a time. What you are doing is trying to take a sip from a fire hose. Read everything you can. Then reread it. It takes a lifetime.

Questions were answered repeatedly very thuroly, its to bad the answers could not be comprehended.
This is what hotroding has come to, just assembling parts, you dont have to know what your doing just open a catalog or two and buy parts.
I think guys with small block chevys have been doing it for years.

Bull$hit.

It's NOT him being a newbie or whatever. He's asking the same question multiple different ways on multiple threads at a time, yet not HEARING or UNDERSTANDING what people who are trying to tell him that's good advice. And he's coming across like a snarky effin' kid who has no concept that his approach to dealing with people who really DO know more about this subject matter than he does is shrinking the list of people who would otherwise be willing to help him.

THAT'S why I won't respond to his questions anymore.

Frankly....... you should be having these conversations with him.

Before you argue with everyone here go read the frickin books and get soom basic knowledge!

Your acutely proving the point of ignorance on your part. You have been given information multiple times but you're not capable of recognizing the answers.

Get the books.

I stopped answering his camshaft questions (I happen to run the exact cam he was considering at the time) after he insulted everybody that didn't provide the exact answer he was looking for. This was a month ago.

"See guys, was that so hard?" Was his response to us.

I'm finished with him.

If you dont like the responses , and you have been give great feedback and now your calling us rude why are you here?

Well yes of course, but id rather not go to him and ask him to teach me everything, or just simply tell him i want a fast daily driver engine. Id rather go in with this knowledge and have a conversation about what i should get, vs having him tell me what i should do.

Id rather go in with this knowledge and have a conversation about what i should get, vs having him tell me what i should do.

That statement makes absolutely no sense. If Hollis tells you this is what you should get. Then thats what you should do. If Hollis is doing your engine. And any question Hollis answers is teaching you. Heres my advice. Step 1. Either call or go talk to Hollis. Step 2. Tell him you want to build a 440 stroker pump gas engine. Step 3. Tell him the components you are thinking about using. Step 4. Shut up and listen. Then you can spin any questions you may have at him. Sorry if you get offended on here. But I read all the post. And all the post on your other thread. It was painfully bad my man.

which is why people are telling you to go read the books.
