Yes, then we can all feel righteous about attacking you and then get offended when you stick up for yourself.

Well, it certainly is a unique engine!! I would have to agree that without extensive redesigning on the heads and valve train, performance wise it would be a real pooch!!! You can put me on the "why bother" list....

can you imagine if barris or roth had a why bother list

Educate me, who are Barris and Roth?

you got to be kidding me ,right? well if you dont know goerge & sam barris are 2 of the best customizers ever to have lived, they were the first to chop a merc along with tons of custom treatments,ed (big daddy) roth is the inventor of rat fink,world famous artist/pinstriper,custom car guy, he built such cars as the beatnik bandit

Sorry im not picking on ya but how in the hell can you live in cali and not know who these guys are??????they have the ratfink reunion every year out there

I would imagine they did have a why bother list, an that engine with the bass ackwards flow would have been at the top of it!!!! I doubt much of an itake charge would flow up an exhaust port, around the big bend, and through a 1.60" valve !!!!!

I'm quite sure Barris, Roth, and all the other old time hot rodders thought up a lot of ideas that never made it past the what if stage!!!!!!

No, really, I never heard of them. I remember hearing about the rat fink, but I don't know what it looked like. Sounds like I missed out. It would be cool if one of the sports channels did a documentary on them.
