Yeah just do what you want to do, if I'm ever employed again I'm gonna run duals out the back and go back to diagonal tips I think.
Yeah I got a few more people who stated they didn't like this than liked. I don't care, I think I will go back to this when I can afford it.
Come to think of it people gave me **** for my 2otr also.

yeah I doubt it too but that is what I want, the sad thing is the hood I bought, some kid saw mine and 2 weeks later he had one, but luckily, he did not install it correct and cracked the entire hood across the front. but the sad thing is I see people copy off each other all the time, but since it is the norm, it is ok, that is why my wheels are semi gloss paint, most people go flat or gloss. but hey, I like all fbods, unless they are rolling 22's or have a japanese body kit.

You should look into useing the Olds 5.7 Diesel rods There was an old school guy who used to come into the parts store I worked at and would tell me of all these crazy things they used to do with engines. Like milling a 426 hemi to take a Cadillac 500 crank and using the 4.500" pistons, which in turn lead to making a 548ci hemi lol Just to actually test that old nut's stories I researched the stroke #s, punched it into the calculator and it comes out to 547.6ci!! Anyways, apparently using the rods and Windsor valves in Camel Back heads resulted in some really cheap means for making reliable power Seeing as you want to long-stroke it, that might not be a bad way to go. I remember him saying you need to have higher wrist pinned pistons, but since you work at Wiseco, that shouldn't be a problem
