So I just ordered Dellows billet flywheel, pivot bolt ( about time someone starting making them ) and fork retaining spring all for 550 delivered.

just about to buy a powerbond race balancer for 260 free shipping. bargain! But before I do, i will confirm the 8 rib part will clear the dip stick tube as they are on the front on late engines.

Where are you getting the balancer from?

[vlad01]

rocket industries via ebay.

Pistons sorted!

got Nason pistons, which took over the ACL race series piston manufacturing , they are the the exact same ACL 9380 v6 pistons, even retained the same ACL part number.

I regularly search ebay for NOS vp stuff and have been doing it for years.

while my vacationer decals are now being reproduced I was also going to get the textured bumper stripes done too, but like perfect timing these came on to ebay for the 1st time and I thought "perfect alignment of the planets and stars"
