Dallas,

I called Inglese last week and spoke to a guy named Chuck Gleaves he was very helpful and got me hooked up with a side/center pull linkage…Only sold me the parts I needed to make the conversion, not the entire kit. He saved me over $175.00. I completed the test fit yesterday and it works great! I have not run the engine with the set up yet, because I need to replace the base gaskets and the old ones will take a while to get off, as they are glued down.

Chuck also had a number of suggestions as to jetting, E-tube sizing, etc. He said it took him about a year to perfect the tune for the 351W. Mine is very close to what he suggested with the exception of E-Tubes. I am running F7s and he suggests F16s. I may change sometime in the future.

I do have photos of the set up, but they are too large to post here. Maybe I can put them in my gallery…
