F-2, I believe they are 3.8's, but I'm no expert on them. My 1st go round with Whipples. I believe they are 582cuin. made like 980hp. My main requirement is I want to cruise at 60 mph at 3600 rpm's. these will live forever doing that.
Just like my last Apache, Tonto.

Heck of a resurrection! Job well done.

I think those are 3.3s or 4.0s. 3.8s have the pointed or angled vanes.

Thank you! Yeah I would have to get the Whipple info from Innovation as they built the engines from the oil pan up! Nothing was kept from the old engines.
