thanks to one of the members here i have a good question...

has anyone ever turned a 6 cylinder z bar into an 8 cylinder one?

Posted this in the classified forum as well:

All right man, Gotcha! Talked to my Dad today--
He said we shortened the bar, and moved the lower arm. Upper one stayed where it was. Arms didn't receive any modification whatsoever. Just cut it off and rewelded it.

Like I said, it works like a charm, no issues with it at all.

Just remember measure twice cut once good luck and let me know how it goes!

I was looking at it and realized that you'd only have to move the lower one. thanks again.

So...
Did you cut it up and make it work? If so how'd it go?
