Re: The Official John Lee Jr Thread

The plastics not to frightning. 2" off the manifold is cooler than most believe. I'll move it later after determining the set up and tune on the engine is good.

I looked over pistons for the I6, they are the same as the small V8s. Keith black has some with an increased height for compression but I'd rather put the $400 in roller rockers and roller cam, build about as much HP with friction reduction and none of the disadvantages and multiple compromises elsewhere of high compression/taller pistons. If I can get this single weber tuned then a hot six rebuild might well see a pair of lil Carter/Webers on an offy with iron headers....woops, dreamin again!
