Hi all I need advice on building a stronger 225
(Preview)
Hi all, I have a 82 dodge d100 short box in great shape, it has a tired 225 with a granny 4speed tranny. What I would like to do is build a 225 with a few more horses and keep the tranny but change the rear gears from 3:55 to something a little more cruisable. At 100kms every thing seems busy. Thanks Rick.
