Not the best, but also not the worst I've seen. Everything can be corrected. Just cost money, what's you plan for redo., original, or modified or something in between? Good luck and keep us posted......Jim

A BBC and a 6 speed ! I'm in

fastwillie 696969 · 06-10-2011, 04:40 PM

that harmonic balancer needs to go wont hold up ,flex fan toss that in the can too,just my 2 cents

weaintscared · 06-10-2011, 04:44 PM

Why you say that??

VA72C10 · 06-10-2011, 10:14 PM

Looks like a fun project

bcutt · 06-11-2011, 07:57 AM

Fast Willie is right IMO. I would go with an SFI approved Harmonic Balancer and an Electric Fan, If performance is your goal. Ditching the flex fan will free up a few extra HP as well.
