Still a 383? Is this the re-build from melting the slugs on gas?

385 now, I put some bad pumpgas in and hurt the 4 corner pistons.

I sent the intake off to Bret, it got the full Monte

Looser-lighter converter

Lighter balancer, overall 11 pounds off the rotating assembly.

Took the elbow and Monoblade off, 4 hole TB is on it.

Bigger pushrods, 3/8's

Dropped static from 12.5 to 12 to 1


The turd should wake up now!

I think his heads have the rare vertically-staggered valve option...

Either that, or its just under the other one

Ohhh... My uncle Ted had that option on his turbo charged 3 stroke weed eater. It had a hydrostatic cam bearing adjustment *** as well!

But the one is probably on top of the other. It does look shorter though...
