[DML] Re: dmc northstar conversion

Interesting. The DMC Power website says the following of the engine:

"300 horse power - 295 ft. lbs. torque"

...and the Pearce Design (Permaframe) page says:

"As far as strength, the original frame would handle 130 FtLbs for
torque in the engine compartment, the new frame will handle 310
FtLbs of torque in the engine compartment with a calculated
correspondence throughout the frame."

Does this not point to the Northstar far exceeding the torque limit of the stock
engine compartment?
