Hi, I'm not sure if this should go here, clones or elsewhere, but I wanted to share what I found. I bought this engine because it was $300, shipped. A Chinese 420 is a Chinese 420, right?
Nooooope!
I'm not sure how the header I have coming from NR is going to fit, but I may have to swap heads. I was planning on a Stage 4 from NR at some point anyway, so I'm not too worried, but I wanted to save you guys from this, should a head swap not be in the cards. I suppose too, if you had an end mill, you could just machine the exhaust flange down to where it is on the Predators.
Additionally, it seems to be a bit of an oddball... It has a hex valve cover and is not a hemi, but it has the same airbox and filter as the hemi, and I believe the same carb and\or main jet as well (#98).
