Is there any advantage to adding all these VE parts to a DE block, than starting from scratch with a 16VE lower end? Seems like it would be a bunch easier and less expensive to buy a VE, and sell the head.

91 SE-R I think ill be keeping her a bit longer.

I was born and bred and still live in the West Indies. I live under a coconut tree on the white beach sands and drink rum all day long. I drive my race car in short pants with open toed rubber slippers and my helmet is a Straw Hat with a tight shoelace round the neck.

Yes, from purely a performance for $ standpoint I would recommend a VE. It was a fun project however and I hope that it yields better reliability under race stress. Only time will tell.
Thanks for the feedback.

BTW, a day later the same car made the same power on a NASA certified dynojet at SRMotorcars and 2 weeks prior the car made 191.8 hp and 160.29 ft/lbs on Church Automotive's dynapack. I'll scan it and post. It just shows how different dyno readings can be.
