          Im sure the drive train loss powering one wheel would be minimum, ultimate dragster.

The Machine Shop was skeptical that they were the right ones, but I called TMS and they told me they were the right ones. Im just pissed because Ive spent a good amount of money to make sure this motor is built right and after thousands of dollars, its basically back to square one. Im heading into month 7 of this engine build
            Sucks when shit like that happens. Hopefully the machine shop makes it right for you. Good luck on whatever route you decide to go with it next.

                I'd put an LS in pretty much everything if I had the time.

                    its easy now to go back and say I shouldve done, or shouldve done that. the fact is that I did everything I could to have it done right. shit happens. ive wasted money on enough things in my life to brush this off (eventually). for now its just really really frustrating.

                                I've been really hot to trot for older cars (again) recently. I yearn for a Volvo 122s, VW Karmann Ghia coupe, Fiat 124 Spider, VW type 3.
