Larry,
Is 180 hp your goal? you could also go to Peripheral port and get 200 hp 
easy. Although this is slightly more complex than a street port it makes the 
manifold simpler for aviation use. The stock standard manifold is too high 
for Aviation purposes - still it has been successfully cut down, but I don't 
know how much that affects the inlet tuning and therefore max hp.

Are you planning on FI - if so Tracy's EFI is very good as well as his other 
EMS. Tracy's PSRU is used by many on this list and has proven successful and 
reliable ( suggest 2.85:1 ratio).

Jerry on this and PL's list does the engine mounts frames and Al sumps, he's 
very good!.
There are others who do aluminium welding, including radiators.
Larry on PL's list is developing a new Bellhousing - he's also very good.
I would suggest that there is little that will hold you back.
George ( down under)
