Re: Longer shackles vs Heavy loads
I don't see why you would have too much of a problem
You will have a higher center of gravity and ur bump stops will be to short those are the only 2 problems I can see
If you do however push ur leaf springs to far they will snap that is why they do have a bump stop

Looks like a 8V crossflow Citi with a blower. Ibought a blower for the 4Y, but never fitted it, think it will work well for low down torque The pistons and rods on the 4Y wasn't a problem, it handled 1 bar boost, but we couldn't get the gasket to last, even copper ones blew.

Re: high performance 4y motor ???
I built a 115kw normal aspirated motor, it wasn't very happy at low rpms. but from about 1800 rpm it made power beyond 6500 with the peak at about 5700. I tried a big valve head, but it had no torque at low rpm 4Y's doesn't like Turbo's, they are not cross flow, so the basic design is wrong, we man...
