It's got the 2 valve head. i left the intake at .03 and took the exhaust from .08 down to .05
It was about 30 degrees out-- i'm up on a plateau a couple miles off the delaware & lehigh rivers, we get a nearly constant 5-10 mph wind so it gets to the fingers pretty quickly.
Are there decent cams & springs for this one? If so, after i get it on the ground and running i may fiddle with a bit of port work on it if it looks like there's anything to work with. If there aren't a couple cam profiles to play with then it probably isn't worth doing much more than checking for port matching. A set of better springs would be within the budget. I called in my last favor for it today, my welding/gas supply house owner owed me for a golf club fitting from last year ... Got my O2 and Mig gas tanks filled, another 10lb. spool of wire, new gloves, a skull rag and new plastic for my Speedglas helmet for $75. Hopefully that'll see her through to completion.
