RE: savage x 4.6

From his first reply I thought he was trolling. Making multiple posts to get a response.
Either that or this is the most pointless thread this year.
He does not want the truck or want to fix it,...

If the front wheels didn't have a big offset they would rub on the shell.
My savage has the xl width.

RE: K 5.9 really that bad

It does run hotter than all my other engines but even after a lot of use compression is still perfect.
I find the engine is best when...

RE: Building a Buggy Eating Savage

Thanks Yakfish, I'm pleased with it so far.

As I just mentioned in my thread I got a Picco X28 which is a P3 with low profile heat sink and turbo head.
Cheaper than the P3 too.
Awesome engine with bags of power.
