Awesome! It's that there Aircooled.net's Mileage Motor spec? Mine isn't quite that, I kind of took another route. Instead of going dual carbs I kept it central and added dual heat riders and more intake texture to increase emulsion. I also adapted a Type IV cooler and filter pump but along with an oil thermostat. That took a lot of thinking especially since the oil cooler is still in the same position on the crankcase (doghouse). That and a lot of oiling mods mostly. One of these days I'll get to it and see if what I had planned will actually work. If it doesn't I'll either sell the whole car or just the engine.
