Title: M44 Intake Manifold
Post by: dude8383 on May 10, 2006, 09:50:49 AM

Will these fit on our M42's??

I hear these have better intake and exhaust passages..

What about the cylinder head as well? Do those fit??

You might gain some low end torque, but high RPM power will suffer.  I wouldnt do it.
