          Lets see......
          plan is to pull motor, for;
          1) port heads
          2) gasket match intake also
          3) replace valve springs
          4) install total seal rings
          5) change out stupid 1 5/8 primary block hugger headers for 1 3/4 long tube ones
          6) changing vac sec. 750 for dbl pumper
          7) LOVE to trans brake it, but $$$ will probably run out before then!! ;)

          I better get started!!

            Take both carbs. The DBL pumper will get 2-3 less MPG. And yes this is the Prius forum.
