***Editors Note: Anyone whos been around r3v knows the value that digger brings to us here at r3v and is a huge fan of the M20 motor. His work and motor prove its strength. Sure its not the most cost effective, but using the original heart and working it over gives you some very respectable returns. Lets not forget this is all in a gorgeous mtech2 package.
