I just decided to get H-beam rods. My machine shop is currently notching the block for the to clear. I just ordered TT h-beams and I am having them over-night shipped. I should get my block back either tommorow or wednesday and I will assemble everything. I should hopefully have the wagon running this weekend and hopefully tuned before next monday.

These bends are very temporary. I'm hoping to get a month out of them with conservative driving.

Yes, I am actually building a stronger engine because I am going to upgrade to a big 16g. T25's are cheap and a good start.

Do they have a center diff setup? Maybe just get a single driveshaft made up to eliminate the center diff?
