I predict your centerline will be akin to sanding down ablam, or more specifically, laminate MOP.
Stuffing a Big Block into a new gen Camaro - that's the kind of challenge we'd like to see. All of the engineering required will be a sight to see. But mostly the end result, if done properly, which should be something phenominal.
In this case, there's so much to go wrong with a 1" scarf on a .070" plate. All I need to ask is what I normally do - where do I want to end up? Then backwards plan from there.
The path taken to the end result is nothing like the car example above - increasing degree of difficulty just to say you could, or did? Okay, admittedly, I can see that, but not at the sake of time in process when there's no real improvement that would make it viable.
Here's an example, admittedly, of "because I can" - mortise and tenon bolt on neck v. bolt on butt joint. Increased degree of difficulty in the M&T "because I can". Butt (pun intended), the shift in other processes affected makes it well worth it, for me. Unless you're a builder, you wouldn't understand. So it becomes a "feature" (because I can) rather than a solution (for a problem I never knew existed).
