I had an unidentified call come in at 12:08 PST with no message left. I was in meetings all afternooon, then straight to daughters softball game 25 miles out of town at 6, home at 9. Email can be more effective.
I did speak with Bill this morning at 6:40 and he is sending an RA and possibly a Tremec take-off shifter which is above and beyond the call of duty.
Received the take-off shifter today with a RA slip from American Powertrain. Appreciate the quick turn around time.
Since it was brought up, and you are deciding or having decided for you which route to take, I am curious on the differences/benefits of the LSx, 4-7 swap, and "Cleveland" firing orders. I just learned of the "Cleveland" firing order last week (also called the 4 cylinder swap).
So I had the swap discussion at lunch, the primary reason it's desireable is to reduce the load on lightened small journal cranks. Doesn't sound like it's desirable with standard V8 intakes like an Air Gap or Victor. Individual runner systems are required.
Here's one of Grant's legal 360 motors at our local dirt track this weekend, Kyle Miller is the kid (19) driving from pole in the #10 car. He's good but also has a slight horsepower advantage.
