how much dose it cost ? and nice job

@braggy97 The C4 rebuild was about 300 USD. The motor rebuild was about 1900USD including cleaning and valvetrain components. Headers were 195 used from Team Blitz and about 75 for the coating.

I've since put in a single piece drive shaft ($273). Up next is a mallory distributor recurved for the cam. It should bring back my bottom end.

Good work ! Any chance to get the holley carb part number, a friend of mine is running a 2600 gxlr fitted with a solex carb and this carburator is running poor, he thinks a holley would be his best match. Also is there an adapter plate between the carb and manifold for the holley to fit or is the holley bolt pattern a straight fit ? thanks
