If Jeff can't help you look up Tapper on the TX Board, he is in Dallas.

By the way, you had a great crew over there helping you out!!!!!!!

Why the big bore kit?

What about OEM Stock parts all new, less problems down the road?

Front Cyl. - $333.66
Front Piston - $82.86
Rings - $35.82
Gaskets Ect. a few bucks more. Just wondering!!!!
