I don't know if he has more hot rodding knowledge than you, it just sounds like he's more interested in engine swaps and such. It's amazing how similar some seemingly unrelated parts can be. For example, you can use pontiac exhaust valves along with dodge intake valves in a standard 460 ford head and gain installed spring height because the stems are longer. And you can offset grind the factory crankshaft of the 460 for more stroke (smaller rod journal) and use the 240" Ford straight six connecting rods with a .080 overbore and get a 540" big block. There's plenty of other strange-but-true parts interchangeability. I sometimes wonder who could possibly cook up this stuff without the help of serious drug use.
