Just bought a set of Source's shafts and put 'em on my junk; they looked okay

By buddy bought a set of chrome ones (I think from Mancini, but I'm not sure) from someone else and they looked like crap. REAL rough surface, like they'd been polished w/ 60 grit before chroming. But the 440 Source stuff looked okay finish-wise and are reasonably heavy walled.

Crossing my fingers...

Seduce the attractive, and charm the rest. ****** 489 C.I.D., roller cam, aftermarket heads, tunnel ram, stock '54 Dodge rear axle assembly: which of these doesn't belong?

Wasn't there a recall on the rockers? I heard they were junk.

no problem here, but the shafts were full of polishing detritus. i had to pull the plugs and scrub. they've been perfectly reliable.


for what is the good life if not doing things thoughtfully?
