Plan is to switch to rollers when I order the disc conversion. Meanwhile the truck is parked until I complete the rest of my mods, T5 is going in today along with an HEI distributor shortly there after.
In my case, it looks like the garage that did the inspection, was not aware of how to properly install the drum assy after removing it. I exported the truck from the US into Canada and it required a provincial inspection to register it.
