Yes lb7 rods.. I have a set of lbz rods in a box. However the machine work to run them isn't worth the time. If I'm going to spend the money on machine work to balance the rods it'll be a good set of rods lol

Haha, you having them blessed and going for it? :D

Also been chit chatting with Evan and got parts getting lined up from him.

Called and had the pleasure of talking to Mike L, decided on a goerend "R" which I'll be ordering tomorrow.



Thanks Mike and Evan for the trans advice/ parts. Evan is getting me a killer deal on a clutch kit and billet input.

Well, good luck with that. At least you're going into it with the proper mindset. I wish you all the good luck I can.


How long were you on the phone with Mike? He can talk for hours, but the strange thing is that time seems to stop when he's talking.

Thanks Tom, I know the bottom end won't be happy running it to its full potential. I don't plan on beating it hard. Going to have mark keep the power level low and keep this thing together until I have a short block ready for it.

I was maybe on the phone with mike 5-10 min, but your right.
