Ed: incase no other listers come across with the goods, I got mine from a
Spit/GT6 recycler in Whales (UK). They cost me the equivalent of $75.00 US
and included all parts to attach including the manifold & filter air box.
I spent $150.00 more rebuilding & having the bodies bushed with new shafts.
A couple of evenings spent polishing piston chambers to a chrome like
gleam. I toped them off with K&N pancake individual air filters and used
stainless steel allen key head fasteners all around. Use the yellow piston
springs with the K&N's and expect to buy a number of needle pairs as you
dial these in. Headers, compression, cam, altitude, etc. will all have an
impact on what needles work best. Don't expect too much of a performance
gain on a relatively stock engine but as mods go up, they sure help the
breathing. The K&N's give the intake a nice "honk" to match the exhaust
note.
Good hunting,
