RE: O.S. .46 AX Shims
Hi Dave,
Heard about this thread and wanted to take a peak. Since it is a local event and if you guys all agree with what is going on , so be it. Personally for a 424 event I really don't know that shims are good or bad as long as everyone has access to them. The intent of 424 is and always has been that it could be used as a stepping stone to 428. Well since you have to know how shims work when you run a Nelson or Jett, maybe it is not a bad idea to let guys play with shims in the 424. They have to learn somewhere. I would just want to make sure the everyone has equal access to them as I said earlier.
Now as far as blue printing goes, as long as they are UNMODIFIED FACTORY ORIGINAL parts , have at it. I can tell you when I built the K&B 4011 eninges, just by swaping parts you could go from a 15,300 K&B to a 16,200 K&B on a 9-6. What do you think Clarence Lee does? Just my 2 cents.
