ya this is a cool site with lots of good guys!!! The YB would have been a simple drop in but it is dry sumped and the pan drain rail runs into the rack. So the hope to lower the motor ended up lowering the cross member and raising the motor a little. I find it is always the little things that kick your butt. I had redone the brake system to clear the Webers on the two valve motor so that problem was solved. Most of the stuff is worked out now. It does pull like a V8 and screams past 8K. Like most projects it is evolving, I still have about a page of "want to dos". We will see with the cost of things nowadays, racing and projects keep getting pushed the the back.
I am still looking for flares, got so or know where to get some???
