I had one of those bike carriers what a pos! My 80 year old neighbor now uses it to drag his trash cans out to the pickup spot with his side by side!

These two are more techniques or tips I guess.

Pinion setting tool. I only had my time I to making it, I'd honestly recommend just getting pinion depth set by trying shims and reading the pattern with setup bearings.

Especially we with how much the commercial ones cost.

Thank you.

It is an older Clifford 4 barrel manifold, Aussie cast Dutra Dual split manifolds, Quick fuel 450 carburetor, JP performance true double roller timing chain, Oregon Cam Grinders custom ground cam, .100 machined off the cylinder head for a little compression, 5 angle valve job. The valve cover is a low production cast piece from Argentina. Later electronic distributor triggering an HEI module and vortec coil.

Very impressive! Thanks for sharing. I got a special place in my heart for these motors. Had several.
