If you haven't bought any 5.0 specific parts yet, what's stopping you from putting a bigger motor in? Same money, more power and torque.......
I know what you man about the footboxes. I have an RMC body that we extended the driver's footbox by 8 inches. That makes exhaust clearance a little tighter than I'd prefer
Scott from Venom Custom Fabrications here in Brisbane relieved the sides for a little more clearance. The Wilwood pedal box takes up a fair bit of room, so we couldn't remove as much as we would have liked.
So, who's this engineer that I should stay away from?
