Scott - there's nothing on a connie that's going to be an issue for you. I'll expect to see some hotrodding coming from you - One thing I really miss is "the old days" when we built a bunch of hotrods all at the same time. I'm actually building another cylinder head for Shoodaben right now. The head That's been on it for the last 5 years has the high velocity epoxy filled port job. I feel i've exhausted it's capacity, so now I'm doing a more conventionally ported head. I hope you get into this side of the bike too, with your background you may be able to infuse some life into the old gal for the rest of us - Steve
