I'm really happy with the setup except for the fact that the new motor is really rough on everything behind it. (Got a new driveshaft on the way now!):eek::eek::eek:


LOL..I've found the Cleveland engines to be a wee bit hard on driveline components too.;D

They are from down under, but there is a performance parts company for Cleveland stuff that imports them. These heads are actually AFD's 2V version which works better unless you have 400+ cubic inches.

I have a Parker Funnelweb intake from them, but it is not on this engine. The intake on Rattler is an Edelbrock Air Gap.

Yes.... It makes you look at all those components in a little different light.. the smallish D20 output, yokes and joints, 28 spline axles... Maybe the best thing to do is go back to a G78 15LT!;D;D;D

Thanks Tasker! Yes, It helps to talk to someone that has done it before.
