My bed floor will be raised 3" so clearance shouldn't be compromised (it should remain the same). I plan to try & shorten the straps but imagine that won't work.
I'll prob have to weld-in a lip on the outside of the frame rails for the j-bolts/straps to use.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....
Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
