Open invitation to Western South Dakota, good beer, mountains, Badlands, Mt Rushmore and you can see em all from the top of our property! In fact, Chick and Tony Huntimer are here as we speak.  :cheers:

The winery has expanded and added a brewery.

 Trent,I was out having a feed with a bunch of people and one of them is doing a PhD in DNA forensics related to fauna smuggling, I was talking about you because she'd met someone who it sounds like might have been one of your neighbours...

" he lives in the Black Hills area, you know right at Rushmore there, he's a climber and stuff and he has a brewery.."

sound familiar?.... my friend's name is Sherryn :cheers:

I just can't get past the little valves and the availability of decent performance parts
They run them in wingless sprint cars and and there used to be a Formula Holden series here
But we  made the same sort horsepower as the formula holden cars on the dyno
I feel that I'm at the naturally aspirated limit for this engine
3" stroke in a 4" bore Chevy V6. you know it makes sense

Makes sense for cheap parts availability, but if you're building from scratch around a 4" bore, a 3" stroke in a 6 cylinder E engine doesn't.

Have you considered taking off .020 in an offset grind on a 4.3 crank?  Puts you right at the class limit.  :roll:
