    Fellas,

    What's the performance list of things that can be done to help this little guy out. Cam, twin weber side drafts? List'em so I can save research and just purchase :D

    SWAP TO 18rg DOHC

    not sure if head would swap.

    but if you're looking for bang for your buck I'd jus swap a 22R in thurr

    That's an option but I want to retain the 18RC... it's only got 48,000 miles on it :)

    You can get a mild street cam from Isky's , an extractor/ header with little bigger exhaust, and upgraded your carbs like you mentioned.

    Anyone know a place where I can get an extractor/header? I've looked on the Pacemaker website but they don't have an email contact :(

    Fellas,
    On the way:
    -32/36 DGEV Weber
    -Offenhauser Dual Port Intake
    -Header and going to do 2.5in back...what kind of can/muffler?

    How much can a good port and polish do for these motors?
