I have a black wrinkle finish one I'm going to install.
I'm trying to find an intake manifold to match, but I might just have to get it powder coated locally.I do things.

I looked into performance heads and cams, but the costs are too great to justify when looking at the HP/TQ bumps. The M20 is pretty stout from the factory.I do things.

Getting completely cleaned and rebuilt. New valve seats, the lot. All for about $300.
I'm a happy Melon.
Damn good deal!

I wasn't planning on doing a cam but, alas, here I am.
Looking at a 272 Shrick, but, open to suggestions.
Just don't get a regrind.

Pulled the transmission, cleaned it up, replaced all the seals, it definitely was leaking and needed it. Replaced the rear main, I'll do the front seals next weekend.
Got an 8lb. Flywheel to mate up to a Clutch Masters FX250, should be perfect for the street and back roads blasting.
