do tell, don't leave everyone in a pregnant silence. I tried the none power steering and just about wrenched my shoulder trying to turn into a parking bay at Superformance in Irvine. Seems like a reasonable addition?? So lay it on us. tin-man

I understand Bowler supplied a plate for a standard Ford FE starter motor bolt hole pattern, but the truck starter motor BHP that we are using was off sufficiently that both Roush and Bowler agreed to the change. While this is another timeline set back I am of the opinion that its not entirely uncommon to yank the engine once installed since all the best laid plans don't always work. THat said whatever happened to the notion to get it right the first time ???? John AKA, tin-man
