I believe we have a very simple and inexpensive fix for the lower arms. Gonna have to confirm fitment, but it appears they will save 10lbs per side. Stay tuned.

I had to jump over here and applaud you on this build. I have been reading it since 6:30 Oklahoma time lol. Just awesome.

So, how did you get the heads to seal? O-Ring, 1/2" Studs?

The heads never really sealed. I just built a tank to contain it.

From what I understand, when trying to make this much power on 4-bolt stuff it's gonna push some water.

I'm currently in the process of making a few changes, some I can't really talk about yet, but I've been in touch with kurt urban and he has given me and my engine builder some ideas on how to give a little bigger tuning window and also eliminate the water problem all together.

The motor is coming out next week.

I believe Casper (Mike Moran/W2W's Car) was still 4-Bolt, so Kurt Urban or Billy Briggs are the people to talk to on the 4-Bolt setup. I hope you get it sorted out man!

Thats cool.

Motor is ready to come out. Probably pull it tomorrow or friday and do the autopsy this weekend. Jeff has some pretty cool ideas about how to improve the motor.
