valin said:Nik, this is a carpet track......notice that it is perfectly smooth on the outside. It does not have clips or windows in the track. You have to install stainless steel wear plates on the inside for the sliders to run on. On each side of the stainless steel wear plate, you install a push through ice pick to hold it into place. You have to run 96 wear plates, which forces you to run 192 picks. I would have liked to run less. They are so close to the outside now because 1" has been cut off of each side of the track, narrowing it to 13".
The motor only has Price cylinders and head cover..........it was not built by Price. It was actually built my Mark Herek of Herek Motorsports. The motor is based on an SX bottom end, and has been stroked to 70mm, with an 83mm bore. I have only owned it as an 1136, so I do not know what it made as an 1108. It makes in the 270hp range. It made 263.4hp for me at Iantomasi, with very conservative jetting.
