ps......i was wondering about your e7ets caus a friend of mine has been tinkering with em ,and i told him i'd keep my eyes open for used ones

let me know how you make out with building that 306.......i had to regrind my crank and go with over size bearings .....200,005 thousand miles will do that to a crank

.........i went with the origanal rods but put arp bolts in them .....from what i gather the bolts are the weak spot ,change them and the origanal rotating assembly are good to 300, 350 at the wheels easy
