The caps are .900 at the center, which I consider to be more than sufficient.
By the way Jack. What kind of banger are you building that a 2.920 Sq. In. port is to small for?

A blown-fuel 'F' engine, 182 c.i., shooting for 725 HP. Probably will search for an old Hilborn 4-port, with four 3" diameter butterflies.

A brand new Dodge Ram 4x4 would have a tough time with that route. I always wondered why old cars always had flat roofs, now I know

  Could be. The mud looks familiar. Sort of like the road to my house.

I'm looking at the camber and alignment on the right front in the first few scenes, and I'm wondering how they drove the thing!  :-o

It's amazing what a person can do if they don't know any better.  :-D :-D :-D

I use to backpack up into the mountains in Wyoming and would see cars way back up in there where you couldn't imagine how they ever got there.  Now I know how they got there,

No, the Big Horns, but I've been in the Wind River Range.  I know someone who bought a Model A in the 50's in Minnesota and they said you could drive it about anywhere.  With the ground clearance over downed trees and such. 

I lived out in the country in northern Wyoming on a dirt road the county rarely did much too and had a '68 Chevy van.  I remember once the mud was so bad I chained the van up the last 1/2 mile to the house and there was so much clay on the front wheels they just stopped turning and were like skies.  Made it home barely.  Don't miss that or the snow drifts where you would abandon your vehicle and walk the rest of the way home,

Thread hijack--

Yes, the weather in Wyoming can be extreme!

The Wind River Range is a beautiful place to hike & climb. It is not over run with people since it is not easily accessible by car. Here is one picture of yours truly from long ago.
