the simplist explanation is this: Gear drives are expensive. They also eat up HP. Cover mods have to be made. Sometimes the fuel pump...
You couldn't pay me enough to run KB's. They're quite heavy...well..at least the stuff we've looked at. They're just cast pistons afterall, but...
The 351w bolts are 3/8" already...plenty strong for most of us. 99% of the time with 351w rods, the bolts don't break. It's usually the rod...
I may possibly make it. Traskwood? Nah, that's an easy drive. I will have to take a day off, but we aren't busy this time of year so that...
