I have a set I use for 'set-up' purposes. You're more than welcome to borrow them if you don't mind driving my way (Garland side of Dallas).

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.

Not a problem. I'm real close off of 635 in the Garland area to give you an idea on travel.

Re: Adjustable rear trailing arms how-to

Ok, cool that is actually not that far. I have another problem at the moment, was going to weld in my Trans Am clip and noticed that it looks like it is more to one side, (giving it the ole eye ball measurment) but it is aligned with the frame rails on the inside. So, who knows. I measured 24 times then tacked it in place.......a little frustrated at the moment.
