Re: [DML] Horsepower vs Torque

["d_rex_2002" <rich@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

If I remember correctly, Darryl T. has a supercharged 4.3L Chevy
using an adapter plate to the trans. (not a custom bellhousing)

I do not know what the '350' reference has to do with Darryl T.'s
conversion, since he is not running a '350'.

As for the input shaft debate, I believe that alignment issues are
the root cause of most input shaft failures, since I have seen two
first hand, including a stock PRV that had gone through two shafts
and my Grand National powered Delorean that did not have proper
alignment with a missing pilot bearing in the crank.  Once proper
alignment has been ensured, neither car has "ate" another shaft.

Knock on Stainless.

Later,
Rich W.
