Default Re: Ready to rumble

It runs strong! A lot better than the old KF82. I really haven't pushed it yet since I want to break it in first. But I can tell you there is no comparison between the new motor and the old motor. The aluminum is a 6061 T6 alloy. Its great stuff. Both strong and weldable. I've used the same grade to fabricate motor mount plates in super gas race cars that hit hard and never had a problem. The mounting system still retains the original rubber isolators and the rubber snubber up front so there really is not a lot of shock on the mounts. I have a lot of confidence in all of the brackets but will keep everyone posted if there are any problems.
