Questions regarding halfblocked cockers.

Thinking about starting up a autococker project, just for kicks.

Had some questions with the overall design and function of them.

Plans:
Halfblock, mini'd, migitize
Front block, small profile
Ego frame w/ E2 board
Couple other minor things.

I was hoping to use a trilogy body. But I was wondering if its possible to mill off the "front block" and have it replaced with a smaller profile front block to house the HPR, LPR and pneumatics? I know most other autocockers the front block bolts on, but trilogy's have it integral. Could I just retap the front bottom tube and have it mini'd/migitized then bolt a new block on?

Another question involves the firing sequence of the e2 board. Does the solenoid for the ram and the solenoid for the MQ2 fire at the same time? Are there seperate connections for both. Someone told me to just hardwire both together. Or does the E2 board fire the Mq2 first then activates the ram solenoid? That just seems more logical.

Any input appreciated.

Out of curiosity, why put this effort into a Trilogy body, and not just pick up an older variant?

The older bodies would also have to be milled down and retapped anyways. Trilogy bodies are very cheap as well.
