    4v vs. 2v

    I was wondering, what is the difference in 2v vs. 4v blocks? Can 4v heads be bolted on 2v blocks and vise versa? I was wondering because a friend has a forged 2v short block and I was wondering if my heads and intake would be a simple bolt on job. :shrug:

    Shops in Upstate SC

    Does anyone know of any reliable shops that would take on the task of installing a gear in an IRS Cobra. I know of a few that will do straight axle swaps but no one will try the IRS. I would be willing to travel to maybe Columbia, SC or Charlotte, NC. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

    Anybody in the South Carolina area looking to swap a 99 and up GT rear for a Cobra IRS. I'm looking to do a little more straight line racing than road course. The car handles great, but I know the IRS won't handle the slicks.
