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.

If it has POS 2° Camber w/no shims, something is possibly/probably wrong. Wrong parts combination. Assembly issue. Something.... You need to provide some additional background information.

Did you (you/someone you know) do the x-member swap?

Can you provide some pictures of the upper a-arms + where they're attached?
