Do a search...you'll find it. I believe 598cid or some where around there.

that is very impressive,what rpm was it,s peak hp and what is peak torque?

There's even a considerable difference from just using different bases with no tops, with the flat ones being the worst. Air flow hates right angles.. If you imagine what the air looks like being forced into the carburetor, it's easy to visualize the difference between a nice tapered radius vs a flat plate and 90 deg edge.

Knowing this, what is the best solution, or is a solution even worth the time and effort? It's interesting that nobody (to my knowledge) has designed something better in this day and age.

Mike I believe it was a solid roller tunnel ram with dart 355 heads with additional porting by Darin Morgan . Turning around 6800-7000 rpm

I think Craig has since sold his cat and took up fishing for a while. I wanna say his single engine cat ran 126 with that engine
