Yea, I thought about that and did make that first statement confusing.

We looked at a 2.0 (lima?) block one time and found nothing of use for racing. When someone starts talking 10,000 RPM the first engine that comes to mind is the early 2.0 (Pinto) engines. 2.0 (Pinto) had the solid lifters and is one reason they are so popular for racing in "stock" classes, they aren't RPM limited like the hyd 2.3 family head is.
