Re: Turbo 350 Question

Im curious too... They just say they can lengthen and shorten a driveshaft. I guess it's just some of that random knowledge someone picks up making due in small town racing.

Re: Turbo 350 Question

And my only alternative at the moment, is to rebuild the Turbo 400 that was pulled with the 355. And I figure it'd be close to $600, so the brand new one would have some bonuses.
