The frame was not narrowed. That truck is/was set-up very similar to how my RetroRod project was done.

Also.... that truck isn't really that low. That's where/when you'll really start noticing issues w/fitting all that rubber. It had standard c-notches installed into the frame & the rear housing wasn't riding inside the notched area. Both of my previous daily drivers w/c-notches had the rear housing tubes up into the notched area about 1" which would be the equivalent of about 8" rear drop.

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.
