Is their money greener than mine or do you just not like me? In any case it doesn't matter if thats the way it has to be you are very knowledgable i would never take anything away from you but you are not the only one who has knowledge on engines i will have a massey puller and if you don't want to help or do it i will do it on my own there are plenty other people running massey from other builder.I hope you don't take this the wrong way but i am dissapointed in your actions toward me.Sincerely john b hartwick [Reply]  [No Email]

At that level you def. need a better manifold, big zenith carb, bigger valves, port and polish. better gov spring dont hurt either. [Reply]  [No Email]

I wouldn want to go extreme but pulling second gear would be nice. I guess 3020 piston would press right on the rod or would I have to change rods. thanks [Reply]  [No Email]
