All my stuff was antique from way back had it for along time before about 10 ys ago had it in a van some bastard stole the old van.
A yr ago or so summit had a brand of dial bore gauge I wanted looked into it to see if it was at least a US product it was I didn't really have to have it so all the sudden that brand showed up missing in my summit catalogs, called summit asked them what happened to the product they said they were not selling enough of them, so there invitation
to sell there product through summit was gone.
I used to work in an automotive warehouse many yrs ago so I know all about salesmen coming in trying to get someone elses product knocked off the self replaced with there product.
I don't like cheap tools.
Anyway I don't want to build something with money stuck in it with
plastigage and prayers, I don't think the main man pays that much attension to really silly ones has more important stuff to mess with .

It has to have a big single plane intake. Light weight internals, Heads that flow about 300 CFM intake. High quality springs. A solid roller cam with enough duration and lift to allow the motor to make higher rpm power. I also advanced the cam 4 degrees to enhance higher rpm cylinder filling in exchange of lower peak numbers.
Mine has been run into the 7500 rev limiter for years and then a quickey refresh of just rings, valve springs, and bearings and has been doing it ever since.
