When the engine heats up, don't the cylinders and head expand upward? If so, won't it stress out the frame if it's attached solidly? Whenever I see a head attached to the frame there's usually a rubber cushion involved, no?

...just asking.

just got off of phone with falicon.rebuild and balance and weld is around $580.00,they tell me stock rods should be good for 200hp with no problem but im thinking about a set of knife rods too just incase i do a lorcan and decide to pump up some serious boost and hit the nitrous button so thats around another $700.00 on top of it.i think that would a cheap insurance policy considering what im dumping into the rest of this project and id rather not spit a rod out between my legs at 10,000 rpms! im gonna check with APE also to see who their crank guy is

allright as promised,the wheels are slowly moving again bought some goodies for my dremel today,got in a fight with the wife now im off to louisville to lock myself away for a couple days in the garage with a die grinder a welder and a bunch of files and a cae of pepsi and a bag of doritos!ill be carving on my z1 frame,an empty set of cases and a big block and j-head.im going in boys ,if im not back in a couple days send more doritos and pepsi!
