yes, that's exactly what i mean. i had a little freak out today while working on this god forsaken project and accidentally put a tiny ding in one of the primaries. oops, i have anger issues..... also, the steering shaft is haunting me, i have no idea how that's gonna go back in, i think i'm going to have to unbolt it from either side and just thread it through the primaries and bolt it back up. fock my life...

Just think you could of got a set of PPHs and called it a day and had them installed in about 1 hour like i did, instead you wanted 5 more hp and more low end torque that you dont need in these motors.. all the torque is lowend, why the hell do you need more... your gonna have to spend more now on better suspension.. lol...

thats how i see it... 345lbs stock all made down low.. and you want more.. pfft...

yea im the same way, when i start working on something the garage becomes off limits unless you have a death wish, if something doesnt work wrenchs start flying

and i cant fine the entire list , i saw it somewhere, just cant remeber where)

but remember that the wrench you just threw across the garage (driveway, w/e you happen to have) is the one that you will need next

well, yea, buyta t that point ya go looking for the sawzall cut the hear off the bolt, drill it, remove it, and buy a new bolt, that is IF you can get the sawzall in there, otherwise you try to grind new flats onto it in the right size so that the next socket smaller will fit on it w/o rounding it off again
