Thanks rohrt, but it wasn't intended as a build thread. I had a several relatively small stand-alone projects that I thought would be good to document here...but as noted by The Fixx, one thing leads to another!

I agree Keith...that's the logic that has us moving towards a mild stroker...we'll be giving up a point of compression, but the cubes will more than make up for it. The only trouble is the slippery slope that follows this decision...RA manifolds (mini-starter), exhaust, bigger cam, fuel supply, etc...I just have to keep telling myself to keep things simple and factory appearing...the 200-4r is a deviation for sure, but the only obvious evidence from the engine bay will be the TV cable and dip stick tube...
