What is the resevoir for? If plumbed with 2 cylinders you can get away without it, right?
I'll call you after work.

I would love to see pictures of your install....Pictures of the inside especially. Did the 4k include a steering wheel?:)

We carry Imco, Mayfair, WPM, and Zegler if you end up wanting new prices. There is alot to be said for buying a complete kit. The time and energy spent running around, making brackets etc...adds up real fast.

Let us know if we can help get you some pricing.

Thank you ...I will keep an I out for the pictures. do you have borg-warners or merc trans?

scarabfun 05-20-2008 08:27 PM

trs & borg-warner trannys. i just got my engines back and dyno'd. 2 months behind but worth it. 468's , 470hp @5500 & 505ftlbs @ 4800rpm. i'm hoping to hold the drive's & tranny's together. they should i'm easy on it. had 420 hp before

scarabfun 05-20-2008 08:31 PM

also, i didn't like spending $$$ on the steering but i didnt want to take any chances and didnt realy know how to put one together. i will say imco was great to deal with direct.
