Very happy with Tod's manifold.

I used the 5.5 head on this build just because it is what I had, plus the fact that Ron (the engine builder) said that the difference between the 5.5 & 6.1 wasn't all that great. He said that he could go up to 7. something without causing any problems on the bottom end (It's an inserted engine).

I probably would have opted for one of Tod's new Winfield or Thomas heads, had they been available when I was having the engine built, but it wasn't worth the extra just to buy a new 6.1 from Snyder's at the time over the 5.5 I already had.
