IMOHO I'd stay clear of a gear drive


I love the belt drive option but in this case going dry is not a worry, its all the oil he throws around that is.
I agree its great for tuning and is easier to maintain and replace.

Right now its budget and initial investment that is going to be hard to swallow.

Doesn't your block have provisions for a trust plate?

I cannot ever recall seeing a SBC or a BBC with a cam thrust plate

I respect that

Accelerating is optional...........stopping is mandatory. Your car WILL stop one way or another.

I thought I saw a threaded portion on his block. Could be wrong.

For me I have a limited edition KTM bag and an orange and black car and KTM street bike in the land of Phil Knight and the U of O. So I am subjected to a lot of abuse at the CC which is only a few blocks from the U of O Athletic facilities. Figured I might as well take it to the next level with the grips.

For some reason people have a thing about yellow and green around here even though in the last few years you never know what color the football team will be wearing on game day. Casey Martin use to have a say in the teams game day uniforms but it's be taken to another level of secrecy.

I was talking to Casey a few minutes ago on the putting green, didn't show him the grips yet, though he'll probably approve if I play the Rickie Fowler card since he has a lot of respect for Rickie as a person first player second.

End of threadjack........
