That's hitting the nail on the head right there. When you have skills and machines available to you, it makes all the difference. You can make a very strong iron headed engine with any make/model, if you want to pay someone to spend the time to work on them. That's why people jump on the modern aluminum head band wagon because the cost of working 45 year old iron heads like Paul is doing here could wind up being double the cost. Not cost effective for us that pay for the work unless you're a class racer.
Paul has a huge advantage here, and it's nice to see someone spend the time with antique parts to make power, the old school way. I have no doubt it will make the power he's looking for.
