Hmmm, I was pretty sure that you couldn't use either since the block moves the head up 6MM, If they were used they would probably at least need to be extended a bit I think. That was why I was asking, and because I didn't see any on there at the moment. I knew you were smart enough to run something rather than going without.
Time for a custom QPR timing cover ;) :woowoo:

I think it will be ok. The seperation point of the top and bottom half meet at the deck level. I'll let you know tonight after I try to put them on. ;)

Yeah, maybe an upper cover with a clear window in it to show off them inner workings and gears? :idea:

The 1g cover works great, all I did was to enlarge the holes on the upper plates that attach to each side of the head so they would drop down a little bit and I was able to get all the bolts in.

Here's where the difference really shows with just a little gap.

Now that's the good news, the bad news is that shortly after taking the pics, I tried to improve the way it lined up on the p/s pump side of the head and cracked the lower cover. :uh: So tomorrow I'm going to try the 2g covers, should work just as well since everything seems to line up great. I'll let you know how it works out.

Stock for now.

I would run some crappy tires if I were you Vicious. That center diff is really going to be put to the test with all that torque you will be making! Especially if spool up is anywhere close to what you think it will be. If you don't launch it too hard you might get by with the stocker, but I would definately have that on the to-do list.

Oh trust me, it's on the ta do list. ;)

Nice work. It looks like leaving the top cover off will fool 99% of the fools out there. Guess I need to start shopping for a block and build me one of them bad boys.
