      Take out the 212 and throw a 420 big block or a tillotson 225 in that thing it’ll be a beast

    I wanna see it run through a true gearbox. Pretty sure the factory one is a wet clutch setup so maybe not the factory one, but a gearbox none the less.

    You should team up with bikes and beards. And do kind of like a 212 race!

    This bike is awesome! Alas, could you spice it up a bit with a stage two upgrade?

    You guys should make more room and put a torque converter. It will probably make a huge difference with some bigger gearing. Looks legit!
