Thanks guys
Yeah I know I'll be on the edge of the 8.2 but since I have it, I'll run it till I need a trailer to get home lol. Also I plan on adding a T/A girdle cover to help it.

That's good to hear that butler told ya a cast crank is good enough versus trying to upsell you. I think I'll be fine from what I've read so far.

Make sure you have a rev limiting device. You don't want to unload the engine and lose it to an over-rev if the axle gives up at the wrong time.
