The above costs are based on 2nd hand prices at the IWE 2010 show and refurbishment by one of the fuel specialists at the show. Note: Going this route you will have to install a 120 or 150 cam and head to match the throttle body port spacing. |
The above costs are based on new prices from the leading suppliers online catalogs. Note: Going this route you will have to have the carbs setup on a rolling road as they are only supplied with best guess jets. |
