                            oh, BTW, after so many years... I hate to say, it wouldn't surprise me to see a 350SBC in that car being all it requires is simple [img]smile.gif[/img] But for sake of originality, lets say its a Pontiac 400 - you can tell by looking at the size of those heads.

                              heads???? they wil be about the same size, it's the width of the intake that's the real diff (and how the water outlet is situated on it's own runner in front of the main body where the carb sits

                                At the end of Part Three, we changed the valvetrain of the 3.8-liter V6 in the Tom Henry RS. We installed new, Yella Terra "Ultralite" 1.8:1, aluminum roller rocker arms, Katech valve springs and Katech titanium retainers on our 3800 Series II V6.
                                Ultralites are nearly 25% lighter than the stock 1.6 rockers and 8% lighter than the SLP aluminum...
