It's just bigger pistons and bored out jugs to increase the displacement from 88 to 95 c.i.

A guy local will do the 95" for $1500. Does that sound fair? I don't have the knowledge to do it myself, and haven't found any local forum members that do there own work on there rides???

I would have the INDY write down exactly what he is willing to do for that money, and then present that to the forum. Will he be doing Cams, Headwork, or any other service.

If the question was presented to me wehohl, I will do that. From what I remember he said cams (andrews 26g I believe),bore the cylinders and I can't remember the rest. He had just put on my new apes, so I was preoccupied to pay attention.

All of the above is good information however nobody has addressed the issue of the Road King beating a VRod in a drag race. I find this highly unlikely.
