The point is to be as low cost as possible so if work arounds start to be as expensive as Shawn's heads, then it's dumb. BTW Shawn's heads are fully built aren't they (springs/rockers).
Though I'm a little unclear on one point.
Ron,
Is the compression issue (too low) still possible with Shawn's heads?
The object is to get something that functions correctly at the LOWEST possible price. We have a ways to go, forgetting the heads altogether, between tires, brakes, roll cage, fuel cell(?), brake pads, an easy $1k. Adam is out for kicking in money, I can put in a couple hundred more over the next few months, bits and pieces off the car might add up a couple hundred bucks. Get my point? There's a gap. We can wait a bit on tires and roll cage and if we don't do anything fancy with the engine, we'll be able to get it running and can work progressively from there, otherwise it runs the risk of sitting around waiting for money like the Snake, which is fine for that project, but I'm not going to let that happen for this one.
