That's a cute carb. A pair of those would look good on my intake.

Yea it's a whole different ball game building a motor rather than assembling. I'm an assembler. I've put together a lot of motors but when it came time for my project and started buying parts that cost real $$ and were hard to find I found someone who really knew their stuff. I remember when I started my build I though I knew exactly what the motor should be. What I have now is similar to what I planned but will far exceed what I would have built. Your stoked on working with your builder.
I know the feeling
