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.

The cab is off to the Detroit area on Thursday for cleaning and e-coating.

Sorry so slow to reply.....basically, where the brackets come up, drill holes on either side so that a bolt will be just above the springs...using a sleeve to keep the bracket from squeezing together.

Calvin,
I noticed this on the 1981 C10 parts truck I bought. This is what I will be doing.

Take care,

Barry

Got everything stripped off the cab so I can get it down to bare metal.
