NZCOBRA Posted April 25, 2020 Author Share Posted April 25, 2020 Cheers mate . Not really , i think it needs more torque , just using some leftover parts with a few new ones . 385 windsor should be cool . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for uploading pics, that's explained on the FAQ's page: Bullnose Forum/Forum FAQ's in the menu. But you'll probably want to start a thread in the main section or in Projects as this is the "introduction" area and doesn't get as much traffic as the others do.
