You right for sure .
The good thing on that kind of stuff is I ordered an adapter plate for the
thing that allows you to use a stock or light weight chrysler starter.
Alsothere is a a kit so I can use a big block chevy water pump.
I understand what you are saying though.
I am going to use a chevy rod in the motor , the valves are available from
manley ,pistons are custom no matter what , and my bridgeport will do the
rest !!
