I recently bought a complete standard setup, minus surge tnak and fuel
lines, I am going to put this on my 1600 which has a l20 b with a U67 head
with mild cam and large ports and larger injectors. I paid $1000 for it all
and it is labelled as the guy used to use it on a rally car but cams changed
the rules so he coldn't. Anyways will keep you updated
Ryan.
PS Does anyone have a surge tank to suite or similar, I'm also thinking of
using an Old L18 head instead of my u67 swap the cama and valves match port
every thing as well. Anyway will keep ya posted
