Its gonna need alot of weight removed. Can they drill on the opposing sides of the mallory or should I grind the welds down and press out the slugs before I take it in. Two are pressed,welded from the sides, one is from the top. Thanks.

There you go. They say there are no such thing as a stupid question. They say there is always the exception that proves the rule. Don't be the exception.

Holler if you want to go further. live every 24 hour block of time like it's your last day on earth

Its just another cheater motor but in a subtle way, they would have to pull the heads to figure it out more then not. I want to nut. balance it and ive got the old rods,slugs but it had a 340 cast crank balancer on it (still a steel crank) and im not sure how much weight that is or id compare old vs this new weight.
