40 | Comments | This engine has some really pathetic 1/4 ET's in it. Top end just isn't there. Bottom end is great though. Launches really hard and revs up fast. The small carbs really limit the engine and don't take advantage of the ported heads, plus it's a low reving motor with that stock crank. The engine is really screaming for some Weber 40IDF's. www.picturetrail.com/widefive |
