Gordon,
Wasn't that done primarily so he could run the supercharger? Or did he do it
to
improve reliability etc etc? I haven't looked at it closely yet, but I don't
think
it would necessarily require cutting the head. With the scarcity of timing
gears,
I'm gonna kick the idea around with the "master fabricator" and see what he
thinks...
