@brettmjones From what I have heard the 4BT gets slightly better mpg. The difference is that this engine is extremely smooth and a 4BT will rattle your teeth out.
we have a 6at in our 79 chevy c30 crew cab has been running non stop for over ten years real good on fuel milage. do you need a intake? we have 3 spare engnes if so . email me
PVC pipes will soften and melt over time. Do it right, use metal pipes

I love the high performance redneck intake. Nice project by the way.
