    actually it has a air to air intercooler behind the grill.The inlet goes out the right inner fender back in through the intercooler and the back out the left side up then back in across to the plenum.Motor is a 250 bored and stroked to 273 cu. in.:evilsmile There will be other intakes available for the new head starting with a 2v,4v,weber style like in the photo, plenum design and one for a eaton m90 supercharger.

    Yes. 170/200/250 heads are interchangeable. The push rods, water pump, oil pan and bell housing are not.

    Neat ... I don't see anyplace where they show how much HP/TQ they are making out of the 250 though ...
