I don't think your're gonna find much in the way of complete kits. you may just have to order front and rear kits from the same place and have them shiped at the same time. it wouldn't matter to me if it came in one box or two.

As others have said, you aren't going to find a "kit." You're best bet, unless someone finds a new company I haven't heard of (which is quite likely, ), is to go through DJM. You'll get a "kit" for all intents and purposes, you'll just have to click the mouse about 8 extra times. : )

That or put together your own kit: A hacksaw and a lighter leaf pack.

What was *modified* on that engine at the factory?

Or do you mean it is a 351M and think M stands for modified?

The 351M came with about 140 HP.

It doesn't & because of the flaming wars it starts we send people to the threads aready posted.
