That could be something, could be absolute door stops. Need more info.

Also, you asked for RWHP without giving any drivetrain details. Would you settle for FWHP?

I'd settle for fwhp for sure, all i have in drivetrain is th350 with 3:42 gears, not sure if posi. I'd like to get a 3300 stall converter for the setup as well. The heads are heavily ported but me, polished. Don't have the casting numbers off hand. But no way these are boat anchors.
