Default Bruce Jenner Engine Combo?
I inquired in regards to this on another message board, and again knowing that this is not the place for this, but just can't resist.
One response was an engine that is void of "rods"..........and has a big tranny...........bwhahahah.....
What do you folks suspect?

It won't have any ***** and will have a big hole in its torque curve.

It's tranny can go both ways…
It has been way over-modded …
it will probably not get the lube it wants…
It will have a BIG exhaust pipe, until it gets some staggered..
The intake will definitely need a 'rain cover'
It will be re-worked to only have one head…
The next mod will be a 'blacked out' body…
It will not have a red-line …
It is very popular on the market today… re: the Moochie
It will be called the 'De-Cathy'

The seat of the pants feel might show something's 'missing' after the rebuild, unless it's a 'top end' only rebuild. Synthetic oil will have to be used to keep her properly lubed if the bottom end gets done. With the pipe removed the exhaust will be as close to 2 into 1 as it can get. After a total rebuild it then becomes a finicky high maintenance item, be ready for weeping and blown gaskets too.
