The 3/4 ton truck arms are like the 1/2 ton arms but have additional plating on the top & bottom for reinforcment.

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.

Re: trailing arm setup

very true Scoti, i forgot that bit of info. 1/2 ton arms can be made as strong or stronger than 3/4 arms quite easily.
