He did mention back in a post (in Dinos thread about his 66) that for sbc's he likes the manual rack. He said it did require more steering effort but that it wasn't bad (& would keep the sissys out of your truck).

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.

The manual rack does give more "feel"... but can be a PITA when parking. If you have a big steering wheel and Popeye sized forearms it isn't too bad!

I would most likely stick a power rack in anything I would build for myslef.

Re: $999 for a Dropmember

I just searched this thread and didn't see anything that said I could or couldn't. . . Can you run a big block with the Dropmember?

Re: $999 for a Dropmember

Spindle selection will depend on overall tire diameter and desired dumped height.
