  • Here is where the Rubber Boot Retention Ring goes.  You see there are acordian type rubber boots that hang down and sit ontop of the Air Cleaner Base Snorkels.  It is a Super Cool Option and a must see when you have it.  Oh, did I forget to mention tha...

  • What type of heads then?  Well, this is the main question.  There are plenty of reasons that 400 heads are not the option.  Bigger Valves, Smaller Piston Bores, Hard by hand Porting of the Cylinder Liners, Port Turbulance.  Better to start with the cor...
