Glenn, the cases are GM. The two on the left have J.W. Ultra Bells on them. -Al

I was wondering also but I saw the bell on the floor. Wasn't sure if I've ever seen a aftermarket 200 case.

Went to a Coan TH350 w/low gearset last year. I've not noticed a performance difference between the two, but I sure am liking the durability of the TH350 so far.

Probably time for an update.

Went -.89 under twice this season (Earlville, Iowa and Kearney, Ne.) and -.88 under at Rock Falls, Wi. Camshaft had some hurt lobes when it came apart so Matt Steen and Jason Verke at Victory Engines are once again rubbing on stuff. We'll go back to the dyno after the pieces get back and are reassembled.

Very well done and fast !
Let us know how your freshened engine works out.

Good that you found those problems early.
Looking forward to those dyno sheets.

Yes...the lobes had begun to look herky earlier in the season but the leading/trailing edges of the nose were still okay. The lash wasn't changing but toward the end of the season it got 'flat' and unresponsive to changes so I wasn't surprised to see half a dozen like this when I took it apart.

The last pass on it was at the Div 5 Nat. Open at Kearney, Ne and it went -.88 and change under.
