Re: Ranthemans! Build Thread!!!---Tearing apart!

dalamar I need to ask you a couple questions on it was are your specs like rod lenght pistons cc's and stroke cuz I am confused on why a 3.75 stroke with a 5.8 rod and a 0cc-10.5cc and a 18cc stick out of the block .003 and a 3.75 stroke with a 5.933 rod with a 21cc pistons doesn't. I just wanted to know if you still had some deck clearence or not
