I spoke to you about rebuilding this last week. I'm the Atlanta guy whose kids live in Daytona. I haven't decided what to do cause I was trying to do as much as I could myself.

I was thinking of sending the crank out to Truett Osborne to be rebuilt and balanced. The rods I could do but not the balance.

Axtell says I can go 90 with my stock stroke 3 31/32 and 3 13/16 jugs and he shaves the barrels
or 97 with new 4 1/4 crank and 3 13/16 jugs
I am really thinking of using axtells 97 but I'm really hesitant (scared) to bore my good stock cases that much.

What do u think.?  Ever built one like that?   Man, I wish you were closer to Atlanta! Logged
