the 30hp twin is same block but runs 2barrel carb and intake. you will be suprised what these engines will do even with minimal work. they are heavy but when you look at parts you wilm understand why. they are built last

rods/pistons
solid lifter stock cam
valve springs
adjustable rockers
flywheel
good clean up of ports on heads
30hp carb and intake

cheap mild build that will be very reliable and perform well

A graduated syringe and some rubbing alcohol will tell you very quickly. Make sure what
you're measuring is flat, put a measured quantity in the syringe (available at veterinary
supply places), fill the area to be measured till it JUST comes out, read what's left in the syringe,
and do the math.  Very helpful to know how to do this, works for heads as well and
allows you to cut them yourself and get them both the same.  6" tabletop belt sander works good
for cutting the heads down-thanks Paul!
