Digging that land, most probably Chip and his mate will find a 4500 million years old fossiles and the whole place will be cordoned off and the project calibra V8 site will be taken over by the archiologists, who will take over the dug site for important find, and the imagine the headlines " A man called Chip finds the oldest human skull".

MSG, even a 4500 year old skull, would probably contain a brain that makes more sense than your one mate |

4.0 rod on the left, 4.3 rod in the middle.
I know which I would sooner trust with some boost piled in on top of it  | |

is it skinnier to clear the block for bigger stroke, or is it just pissy in comparison? | |

They are skinny as hell, i don't suppose a 4.3 V8 revs particularly high?

The early ones have been proven at 9000rpm and 850bhp, which is more than a little over engineered for a 6500rpm 300bhp engine, lol
But you can see why the smart move is to use the earlier engine | |
