Yeah, no decision yet.
Re: fuel injection. I did Megasquirt II Extra on the small block chevy Porsche 944. My first tune was the best, ran rank! Tried to get in a little economy
And have never got a tune as nice. So much you can change.

Consideration for the BBC, better head lot clamping, Valvetrain and oil system, cheaper, nicer parts. And have built a few of them.
I have one in my ski boat and built a 489 for my airboat, just shouldn't have sold some of my parts. Sad

My last 489 on airboat

Shaft rocker for the caddy, yeah probably a necessity in a reliable build. Price really not bad however I compare to BBC. Personally prefer bushed rockers over Torrington bearing rockers in applications that get occasional use or a moisture laden environment like a boat. I put a set of stainless rockers on my boat and 3rd season on them I was doing a 5500 rpm pass to impress the girls when one or more seized up, could have been brand but no problems on Porsche so blame environment more.
