Silence it and it’s just another engine.

My builder won’t even use flat tappet hes been building motors for some high end mustang people for a few years and has had to tear down and rebuild quite a few. He’s specifically not used comp in a few years on any build for that reason. I guess I need to either find an nos piece if I want to keep it authentic.
