To the guys running the 1950s mercury shocks, what mercury model/year or part number? Are you using these INSTEAD OF or WITH a relocation kit?
Bags and tank will be here next week, already have valves and most of the electronics, just need a few elevel harnesses and i'm set! Getting excited.

They run the flat upper plate vs alternatives because they're easy & available. Cutting a pocket into the x-member can be done but it takes fab work vs just drilling 4 holes & moving on to another part of the install.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....
Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
