Well it is just the group that passes the torch as each one moves away to other things like the V8 crowd. I've tried to document my stuff in a manner to make it "easier" to find some things. Back when I was doing my build, I would search and search for hours on this and other forums for as much information as possible. Some of it you just had to connect the dots or be a little imaginative.

These engines allow room for error...up to a point. After that you get made fun of for having a hole in your block.
