That thought had crossed my mind when Tim had the bottom end in his shop. Not sure how well it would have worked.

Keep that crank. You're far better off doing a stroker than a revver. The head on a 20vt doesn't flow well enough to warrant doing a long rod de-stroker. Have a fat powerband from 4000-7000 and call it good.

Scrapped the old transmission today after pulling everything of value off of it.....
It weighed a whopping 106 lbs with no center dif cover. Hell I thought it weighed like 80lbs. I must be getting strong or something.
$6.18.......not even enough to cover the gas to get there in the truck lol
