Jim, You mention "allow(ing) yourself another $800-$1000 for the other 5 parts needed to finish the install."

I also have another question: the oil pan has been revised to increase departure angle but retain full capacity - is this setup standard or an option? Is the clearance just as good as (or better than) the previous "short" pan? Peter '81 Westy "Daisy" planning on getting a water-cooled in the future just so I can do the Zetec conversion... |
