IF YOU ARE BUILDING THIS ENGINE FOR STREET USE AND IT WILL HARDLY EVER SEE THE DRAG STRIP THERE IS REALLY NO NEED FOR SPLAYED CAPS.Originally posted by joe bogger
Thanks guys. Boy I dont think I have to many more questions. How about splayed main caps do they uses special bearing and you have to have the block line bored with the new caps instaled right. I may be running these but dont know much obout them and if I even need them.

Pat I have thought about that many times and I want to but I dont know If I can aford to do it the way I want. When I do it I want to go all out. I am going to sit down and figure out how much it would cost for the both of them. And Erik just because it will be street driven dont meen I wont drive it like I am on the strip. If I build something and put the money into it I want it to handle most conditionsjoe bogger

WHY SPEND MONEY ON A SPLAYED CAP ENGINE FOR STREET USE?OUR SHORT TRACK 383 TURNS 7,200 LAP AFTER LAP AND GUESS WHAT STOCK 4-BOLT CAPS WITH AN ARP STUD KIT.OUR CIRCLE TRACK ENGINES WILL SEE MORE ABUSE IN ONE NIGHT THAN A STREET/ STRIP CAR WILL IN A HALF A SEASON.THE WORD IS CYCLES.A STREET/ STRIP CAR WON'T HAVE NEARLY THE AMOUNT OF CYCLES ON IT AS A CIRCLE TRACK ENGINE.Originally posted by joe bogger
