a type 4 be a possibility? the limited research I've done on the web says the type 4 is pretty much bullet proof in a type 1... You have to invest in the conversion hardware, or figure out to fab it yourself... It *is* all factory parts, too (if you're concerned about such things)
Don't know if it can run on a 1 barrel, though... for some reason, it's on my head that the conversion stuff to make it fit in a type 1 means dual carbs (but they could be factory carbs, couldn't they?) Good luck with it (& keep us updated on your progress...) - john >>> On 4/6/2007 at 5:08 PM, in message <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, "No Quarter" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I've queried the buskatiers list in the past about this but thought I would > pick the brains of this group to see what everyone had to say.
