    Fleece Cupless heads reviews/updates/opinions etc?

Anyhow...

    Crankshaft Question

    Not really major power, just shitty luck of the draw i guess, only making 550-600 hp, never had it dynoed Original engine hung an injector which swelled the glow plug tip, broke it off and sent it through the intake valve. So then i bought a supposed good used engine out of a rollover, so i...

    Crankshaft Question

    Well fellas not that its relevant to the discussion above but i just said the hell with it and ordered a callies crank and a 3388AF cam from SoCal. Its a big hit to my budget but ill recover down the line. At this point im just gonna live by the "buy once cry once" motto for the most part. I...

    Crankshaft Question

    It makes sense, ill proably be going with a callies if socal has one in stock but now the next question is balancers. Already have a new balancer and flywheel for an lb7 on the shelf for a the build, wondering if i have to switch that up as well

    Crankshaft Question

    That makes sense but i wont be running massive power, maybe 650 at the most, but i will be towing heavy at times (on a lesser power tune) i think a callies or even a lb7 crank will live at that power level, what do you think?

    Carpet replacement options?

    Yeah i would never even dream of bedlining the interior. For many reasons Im not sure if factory is still made, i doubt it. If they dont ill just get a rock auto special for 200 bucks i guess, not much loss if anything goes wrong
