    we met him at that vintage jdm meet the time after you went...... he said he also may have the cannon intake i need for my mikuni's :waytogo:

    oh, he also said that he constantly builds those 22r/20r hybrids too... might wanna go talk to this guy next time we are down there :waytogo:

    Seriously good information all through out this thread. Keep going on your truck, hopefully mine will also be getting a new engine soon, although I'm potentially doubling the cylnder count.
