All you V8 guys and guys that have built these pocket rockets which kit or combination of parts work best. Such as quality of parts, service, instructions, cost,ect. How about some testimonys and storys from V8 people about their cars, what they used and what they wouldn't use if they had it to do over again.

Hi Brad, not up to to much. I have a KEP adapter and clutch set up, just wondering which is the best way to go. Gone the Rod Simpson route already and wont go there again. Watch for my intermediate plates and caliper spacer kits for vented rotors. You can see them in Ft Worth in July, testing is completed. Doing a 6 conversion for a customer using AA steel flares. Flares must be old they have a few wrinkles. Glad you opened your shop, pray you do great. Thanks to the others< I have a good idea how to go on my destroked V8 conversion.
