Like a tuner who tinkers with the PCM, al has tried almost every conceivable modification available over the last few years, and a lot have already benefited from his "R&D" so to speak.If the ZF fits in the gap, then I reckon there will be a few people on this forum to take his lead!If it doesnt fit, nothing a little "massaging" can't fix Whats the difference between a BF block with a 4sp auto and a BF Block with a 6sp auto? From what I understand Al currently has a BF bottom end yes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
