Re: drop spindle versus stock spindle

The steering arm where the tie-rod end seats is virtually straight across from the spindle stub on a stock spindle & drops down on a dropped spindle.

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.
