Check out what I just got for free. This old man was throwing it out, and I'm going to make it into an engine cradle, so I can have my engine stand free to have another one on it. I do have to either weld or bolt up on the cradle though. It's 5'x3'. Aslo this neat parts kart lol. View attachment 664
Thanks man! Looking forward to it!Cams, guides, gaskets, and cam bolts. Use your sprockets. Have a good extra-clean work area, a long table to lay everything out on, and take your time. We can guide you through it. No worries mate.
Ah wow that’s crazy, glad everything turned out okay. I appreciate your info and experience. What’s a good budget friendly tired you’d recommend?No radial on dailys! I found myself in a real situation one day while headin to the dyno. My car had radials and normally plenty of easy driving traction on wet roads. Long as i kept the pedal effort to a minimum, the tires didnt do to bad. Untill that day!
Driving 55-60mph on the interstate and my wife tragging along in the minivan, all was good as long as the road wasnt "new". The dyno was a 30min drive and i wanted to keep cost low by not hualing the car. Once on the interstate, taking it easy cause roads were wet from a light rain, the tires still had some bite. Then the new widen road to 3lanes. Once my back tires hit that new road, the rearend came around and off spinning i went.
Thinking back i figured releasing my foot off the gas, traction would come back...not the case. I should have slammed the brakes. Use the front tires to control the car, but instead the car spins across 3lanes and into the median. Luckily for me traffic was low that day.
I suggest a tire that handles everyday driving.
I have a set of Falken Ziex ZE950 on the back. They hook good, give them a look. I don't know if they still make them cause their 2 years old.Ah wow that’s crazy, glad everything turned out okay. I appreciate your info and experience. What’s a good budget friendly tired you’d recommend?
Thanks! Will check them out. Would I have to remove the quad shocks to fit a 315? Obviously I’ll have to roll the fendersYou might also try the Mickey Thompson Street comp. I have 315's in the back and they work well.

Have you figured out a good tire yet? If it was me, I would go for a 275, they have plenty of stick to them, that way you don't have to take the quad's off. Those 275's will do great, unless your just going for the extra extra wide look. This is just my opinion, and trying to help out.Okay so I’m going to go ahead and get some 315 mickeys street comp. I’m going to flip the quads and roll the fenders. Then I should be getting the pi cams within the next week or two so some changes coming! Also if anyone as a pi intake manifold their willing to part ways with please lmk!
Yeah I really want the mickeys but I wouldn’t mind a set of 275s. But I do want that beefy look in the back so that’s partly why I’m leaning towards the 315s. If I flip the quads and roll the fenders they should fitHave you figured out a good tire yet?

Does taking the quads off make a big difference?Ditch the quads and get better lower control arms. You’ll notice a huge difference.
