  • They also happen to be the best set for motors that could be twice as powerful as what we are gonna make. In this case it will fit within stock wheel wells. But if he decided to weld in Tubs he can. Hay, you never know.

  • I will leave on the Oil Deflector Skirts to keep down the oil consumption. This is just a good idea as far as the motor design goes. I think I will change the Retainers. In this particular build the idea was to stay stock. I do not like utilizing s...
