I just took a picture, these are typical of aftermarket size available and measures 44cm long which was about 8 cm short for my t700 application so they weren't used on my modified one but should be ok for standard.

Title: Re: chassis/ subframe repair Post by: fe350chev on July 08, 2013, 10:22:39 PM Just a question, is there any reason, apart from liking a v6, that you are choosing this engine, when there are other choices without much more headaches due to it needing to be engineered anyway?
