I hope to start swapping it over but who knows. When I do it, I'll be getting creative & prob do it solo. Too dang hard trying to get help/people aligned so I try to plan/prep to do it on my own.

I did pull the dually out last night after work to reset the toe. After moving forward & backing up a dozen or so times I have it close. I also yanked an 1/8" shim from all 4 spots for some slight neg camber @ my planned ride height (~27" @ front wheel well C/L).

It still has something wrong mechanically. If it idles for extended periods (6-10 mins), you can hear slight backfiring in the exhaust. I noticed it before but thought when I heard it yesterday I would just drive it around my neighborhood & see if that helped clear it up. After the 3rd time around the circle (~7/10th of a mile), I put my foot into it aggressively & it does it then as well. I don't know what it could be @ this point & can't seem to find much TBI support/help locally. Frustrating.

No alignment yesterday.
No alignment today......

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
