one for years and finally bit the bullet on one .

Love this pic! Tucked and it looks like you have room to turn.
Do you know how much narrower your track width is than stock?

Yeah , I've been going back and forth about buying one for the last few years . You know , when I was younger I could slide a piece of cardboard under a vehicle and spend the day working underneath it . Now I'm hurting after 30 minutes !

All I have to say is WOW that BBC sounds awesome

what are the specs on the cam if you don't mind me asking. Also it looks like your running an 8" dual diaphragm booster, how is the vacuum for your power brakes? I'm trying to figure out what I want to do with mine.

Rusbuilt · 06-17-2014, 07:50 AM

Nice!!!

mcbassin · 06-17-2014, 08:28 AM

Engine sounds incredible!
