I know there's tons of literature out there on this subject, just wondering what some of y'all think. Shopping for a block to build and there's just too many options. Hoping some experience can point me in the right direction.
Iron/aluminum block
Hydraulic/mechanical roller/tappet combo
There's a voice in my conscience saying go iron block with hydraulic roller camshaft but then there's this idiot saying aluminum block with mechanical roller camshaft
Not building this for street, but don't want high maintenance constant valve adjustments etc
I imagine myself driving it on the street sometimes but speed limited to 55-60 mph topspeed and having to pullover and cut the engine if I encounter traffic
