Hunter,
Thanks for the info. I will consider some head work, but what kind of
cost will I be looking at, and who would you recommend I contact?
Thanks,
Brian
'74 Eldo
'78 T3

Howdy Brian, You can use the manifold stubs from the 850 Lemans or any other engine that uses the rubber connector to mount the carb. The really BIG deal is that the Eldo ports are small. If you put the Lemans manifold up to the head you will see what I mean. Bigger carbs will help no doubt but to truly take advantage of the bigger carbs and cylinder size the heads need to be hogged out. If the ports and manifolds don't match up well the flow of air and fuel gets whacky and power is lost. If you need help finding someone to do it let me know. It has been a while since I needed any cyl head work but there are people around who can do a good job for a reasonable amount of money. It may seem like a minor thing but it makes a big difference in performance. I've seen power on Guzzis and Ducs go up by better than 15% just on head work with no other changes. That's money well spent! Hunter At , you wrote:
