Hopefully not! I figure if I keep 33s on here, it should hold up well. Should....

I can't see why it wouldn't, but anything can happen if you're willing to push it to its limits.

Well if you saw the rig this engine came out of, you'd know usually I push the limits....

I've been around for a while, just not a real regular fte'er, or any other forums for that matter.

Lol, yes sir, that's the animal. It had D60 locked with 35 spline outers, 10.25 rear welded and a 203/205 doubler tripple sticked.

Got some more progress on the Jeep.
Modded the Ford 205 to run upside down, had to redrill two mounting holes to get it to bolt up. Tapped 4 holes to put pipe plugs in instead of the rubber plugs that where in it. Made a bracket for my shift cables... To make them work, I had to cut down the detent spring so make the shift rails move easier.

Nice! I haven't seen one flipped before. Got plans for a T.C. mount?
I've twinsticked ford/chevy/dodge ...I've seen both the rubber plugs and metal plugs (think tiny freeze plug) from all 3.

In fact I do have plans for that mount. I'm going to run some heavy flat stock forward, and put a rubber mount off the crossmember.

Got exhaust done. Forgot to take a pic. It's a ft of 3 inch pipe, a 18 inch glasspack, with 4 inch pipe coming off it with a turn down. One of them on each header.

I know the tach is right. It's not suppose to maybe, but I don't do thing the normal/right way!
I did a little work to make that thing run like that. Heads shaved, big cam, matching springs, main cap studs and a few other things. But crank and rods are all stock.
