    I'm about the same drop as Lukey but my rear wheels are 8.5" I'm running a little bit of stretch on my tyres tho Sent from my LT26i using Tapatalk

    It depends on the width of the wheel too Mate. But generally a 30mm drop And 17's should be fine without rolling the arches Sent from my LT26i using Tapatalk

    I'm a time served mechanical and production Engineer by trade but left that industry and became a truck driver and have been for the past 11yrs now and work for a fairly well known company with green and red trucks on their car transporters Sent from my LT26i using Tapatalk

    There's a 2.9 lump about 10 minutes away from me but I think the head gasket is gone on that too so I'm debating weather to take the risk and hope that it's in better condition than mine or just try and get mine sorted. It's all about time and money at the minute. I'm gonna get the 2.9 anyway for my turbo build but like I say it's all about time and money before ultimate dubs. Ahh my heads battered Sent from my LT26i using Tapatalk

    So what should I look for to know if it's a 1 or a 2 when it comes to maf and throttle body etc? Sent from my LT26i using Tapatalk

    Surely having 2 cam chains will be better than having 1. Less pressure on each chain than just having a single chain Sent from my LT26i using Tapatalk
