That's a pretty fair price Charlie. H beams should support anything you want to do with these trucks. I think I could have gotten away with them too.

Good deal. some of the other guys on here can direct you to a reputable parts supplier for the internals. I know mod max racing sells complete assemblies, so worth checking into. I know there's a company that a couple guys on here had problems receiving their parts from but I can't remember who it is. [MENTION=92839]MyFX4Project[/MENTION], [MENTION=99584]ibd2328[/MENTION]?

Brother, with your build I was expecting some kind of new space age solid block rods that are lighter than air and stronger than titanium! LOL.

Mine is on the back burner.. I has other things to deal with. But Boost and High compression will happen. Thats if a little bit of LS doesnt join my life. My have a solid deal on a SD to replace the 03 150. Also might be looking for a GM RCSB 4.8/5.3. You know because Racetruck?

Does anyone know if the coupling on the M112 is the same as a M90? Gonna pull the snout and change the coupler before I do the install. Actually, I'll know soon enough due to the coupler rattling on my gtp. $40 on ebay for the coupler and 8oz of oil.
