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: 2wd swap
You are making me regret building mine as a 4x4. I cannot even actually enjoy the power because it lacks the stability of 2wd.

Not to mention the frame flexing due to the new found power. I really wish I could redo my decision but I have to build my bank account back up so....

I am damn near convinced that I want to go 2wd because of this video. I am also thinking that I may want to add a set of cutouts.
