honestly, pretty expensive given the cost of CMI Headers!!

Probably just put cams in with a wider lobe separation and make less power🥲

I always do dry to tip, seems to work well.

is it louder, sure but I do have a molded swim so it cuts it down some.

Stopped by Wesco Racing this afternoon to see progress. Blocks need to be honed, needs new rings, springs, valves, etc. Might be able to use existing pistons, cams, rods, cranks, etc. can’t wait to get these engines put back together, painted and dynoed! A lot of cool engines in the shop. Here are some pics:

Triple carbs on those blower motors?

What was the V12?

I believe the V12 was from Torque Engineering out of Elkhart, IN. I think the company only built a dozen engines before going belly up. Dave said he has three of them. The triple carbs on the blower motors came from a boat out of California. I thought that looked cool. Here’s a link of one of those v12’s on the dyno.
