If you went in and ordered a new set of 083's,, 217's came in the boxes) I know, we ordered a set) . Do you really think that boxing out the most popular car that GM had for a decade is what we should have done?

What Bubski is saying is that no one should be excluded from racing SS!! However when one picks a combo ,one has to be aware of the pitfalls as well as the benefits !! Build an aerodynamic Camaro to beat up on the chevy 2s and Ford and Mopar 60's and 70's cars !! Thats a great idea !! better front end bodywork to bracket race and a nice soft factor to start out with !! However the heads are not up to the task of being mercilessly over heated on the BBQ grill to braze the exhaust ports to pick up like a "second" on ET !! HAHA Then you mill off the entire intake flange on the 85b !! Then you CNC the heads to some template which is incompatible to the castings you have and someone owes you a replacement head ?? I suppose if Bubski ran a Chevrolet stocker i'd be begging for .904 lifters cause I really hate wiping cam lobes !! and would sure like to take advantage of the profiles available in .904 and its not fair cause someone else has them !!
