    Getting Grief!!

    If you look at the picture of my T. bucket you see that the body of mine is very short. I sit in my T. and both of my knees are above the top of the door.

At 5500 RPMs you shouldn't have any trouble with starvation . I have run several of them on my Ford's I actually preferred them over...
