Be aware your likely going to see that Mach have huge issues with the RPM its going to hit in the truggy, the OWB inside does not handle the high RPM's well and will start digging into the backside of the conrod...OWB do fine in low RPM MT's, but they cause all sorts of issues being spun high in the truggies, that is one of the reasons you seldom see any OWB's in buggies and truggies.....I am not trying to tell you not to do it, as I already know your mind is made up, but after a couple of gallons and your rod snaps your going to see exactly why I am recommending against it....However the link you posted is exactly how your going to have to do things.....good luck and keep us updated !
Thank You and will Do!
