Thanks bud, this winter project didn't take near the time the last one did but I really think its a good addition. impressed with the power plant so far. In town it's a hand full. 124" is a big motor for lots of traffic. Kinda drives like a Chevelle with a 454 smooth runner while it's moving, stop and got it likes to lurch and eat pavement. but then again I am getting the hang of it. I think once I get some miles on it I will know how to handle it a bit better.

I can relate....I have a supercharged Mustang that is the same way....from a dead stop, it's got too damn much power....any throttle at all produces wheelspin.

VPC should be consulted, if it won't hold...something is amiss.

Maybe your clutch plates are wrong...is it REALLY slipping? And why the fk are you hot rodding it? It's a FRESH motor knucklehead!

You REALLY need to force yourself to break it in gently......plenty of time for the silly **** later......let those rings and bearings seat in tough guy.

Very cool. Having the open holes for the antennas in the stock fender fillers annoy me. I have them filled with the rubber grommets for now. Another project to add to the never ending list.
