I learned the hard way, just put that double sealed front Nova bearing in it, and keep the stock rear bearing in it....or replace it with a Nova rear bearing of your choice. and use a bearing alignment tool. even better just send it to Monty. He knows how to do it....

One thing to add. When going to that Nova front bearing remenber it's just a bit wider so I found that grinding the clutch nut a little on both sides helps keep alignment on your bell spur mesh. Do't tell anyone, it's a secret, Huh haahaahaahah...

depending on your car obviously.....

The 053 ofna?

I will say the novarossi pipes are made to much more exacting standards than most and as result they perform much better . The ofna pipes are good for the money but are not better performing then the novarossi pipes fershur

To answer your Q , the 9901ss will probably have more bottom than the ofna 053 but not the novarossi 9853ss

How's the engines Jerry ?

yes the 9853ss pipe will definitely make more and mo' better power

truggy 9853ss/41021 or 2084ss/41021

the ofna 053 , dynamite 086hs and dynamite 053mr pipesets are some great pipesets for the money for novarossi engines but there is no substitute for novarossi quality and performance

Both the msr 1005 and the 2013 both make mad rpm

Jp3 works ok

9886/41021 takes a bit of low out but siiiiings on top

Houston or anyone else I hope you can help me.

OK so my P5X ebmod busted a block this weekend, one of ears on the block is cracked off. This was an 05 EbMod REX P5X that I got brand new just a few months ago and only had 2.5 gallons on it.

First question, will a regular block work, or did EB used to make mods to these blocks as well? Second Q, will a later gen P5 block work if there wasnt mods made to the original? I figure the newest model P5 block wont work but maybe the gen just prior to this will. Any help would be great as I really want to run this thing some more, I think it was the fastest motor Ive ever had.
