I had a set for yhe 4" crank. but they never became league.. Light rear drums and anything else that spun around. This is when we discovered rod stretch.
We also ran alum clutch and flywheels. Cheating was the name of the game, but getting caught could loose your number. The best mod was a hollowed out 33/34 intake and 2GC carb. Now on a short track, non of this was very importan,FI, You didn't have the ***** to use it,

Ron,
Why did you use a 33-34 intake and anything special about the carb? Would these modifications be useful today?
