They’re stringing us along ! Man they gotta be making a shyat ton of money on interest holding people money like this ..

They can’t make it a guarantee either , they said that the date isn’t a for sure thing which boggles my mind on how can they project a date unless it’s complete bull shyat and made up

Sounds like a Ponzi scheme lol wonder how they’re staying in buisness not selling anything .

Have you tried to order them from Amazon? Sounds crazy but ARP was back ordered on fly wheel bolts, but Amazon had them and they showed up in 5 days.

I’m eager to get my clutch bolted to the block and finish taken measurements for the clutch clearance .

So far I noted what I measured off bell housing to face of throw out bearing @completely bottomed out on slave . Measured off six diff point with straight edge seems bottom was the most out @120.91mm anyone have about the same measurements ? Would assume it would be close with everyone .

Talk to Monster. Each clutch company is a little different. For example my Mantic is supposed to be no more than .500-.625" of clearance but RPS clutches are .275-.375 inches so it just depends.

Thank you for the input , and definitely will call monster on the clutch .

Yes I’ve checked everywhere for lsa studs and no dice .

according to arp their waiting on raw material from their Pennsylvania distributer

Taking fas enuf lead on this , mapping out the fuel pump access door . Gonna start running my fore fuels system up to the engine bay .

If your considering this mod definitely look up fasenuff vids he’s spot on about starting your pilot hole 2-1/2 “ up and watching out for fuel lines and what not . Picked up set of air metal shears from Home Depot hoping that would do the trick

Got my lid put together and reinforced brick installed .
Think I’m gonna ditch one of the 90’s and go with a straight fitting to discharge to the heat exchanger . Since my trunk tank lines will be coming from back figures feed line would easier being a 90

Rocker arms are ready to go ..

Keeping my fingers crossed for my head studs to be done .

I even tried calling shops in Australia and their waiting aswell ..

Yeah I just replaced all my rockers a couple weeks ago with the che trunnions. And almost a completely quiet valve train now. It seems to even run better, I'm thinking because of the increased valve lift because my old rockers were wore out.

Nice !! I really dig the livernois rocker stand kit . They give a wider pedestal base so it tries and minimize the side to side play of the rocker .
Figured it would add alittle more valve train stability and the pedestals are less likely to flex with big lift cams

Risingson05 · 01-23-2022, 04:19 AM

Got the trap door done .

great job risingson. well on your way to more power. i can't believe you have the patients to wait for the head studs. if it was me i would have caved in and just went with the arp lsa head bolt set.

Thank you !! I did try and look for head bolts , from what I’ve seen on the internet there further on back order than head studs .
