used the air gun.. so.. not too tight :) If it dies i'll put in a 9" and or switch gears to 3.55 or something less silly. It's a cone sure grip.. not even sure if it works yet

k.. pinion seal changed and all back together.... the guy put in near gears but left the stock leather seal... can't complain for free though.. i did make it a tiny bit looser than he had it, i could barely turn the pinion before and it didn't feel smooth, now it has a bit of drag and turns...

Problem with that is you would end up with 100k more in product sitting around hoping someone wants the combo you pre-built... then warranty issues cause of people blowing **** up and trying to blame the shortblock (that's why blueprint doesn't sell shortblocks) just a lot of headache..

Grr... ordered Gibson mufflers.... just got a email they won't be able to make them til the 16th.. not a big deal but have some **** in stock maybe :)

I just watched a couple of w8/9 videos... that stuff is insane.. 900+hp 9k+ rpm... just wtf :)

I don't spin over 6k.... i think it would be overkill :)

I hope he makes the money back eventually and stays around.. i will never have need of a block like that but it would be cool :)

The guy replied below it (i looked after posting here of course) said it removed over an ounce from the gear and also let more oil into the bushing area and he wasn't driving the oil pump so no real pressure on the gear.

sorry, that's why i deleted that comment.. i was sure someone had brought it up before :)

That thing is beautiful, should be a Roller LA also..

This is my first small block and i honestly find pretty much everything easier on a BB... timing cover, oil pan.. water pump. intake.. dist... everything.

k.. let's talk about spark plug changing ease..... That's the most important factor... 360 for the win easily.... just staring right up easy to get to...

yeah.. i hadn't thought bout that... i think go straight.. pray the brakes work :)

yes but you can also get alum heads and the same stuff for a small block... i have a small block myself, i just didn't thnk 50-60# would be that noticeable but i don't think about handling..

Mopar joe weighed a BB/SB and found just under 60lb difference(i believe it was).. wouldn't the extra bb torque/power make up for that?
