So Matt with one of these super doopy set ups in a Moke does it need wings to help it get off the ground or a spoiler to keep its 4 wheels firmly planted on the ground :roll: 8)

Albino, we`re using an "Adaptronic" for this one but the "Autronic" & Motec & just about any high end after market computers will run it extreamly well.

& Hi Dave, yeah the Moke suffers quite a bit with such a big flat frontal area so it`s good to have that little extra grunt to push it through the wall of wind :-)

here`s the actual moke that it`s in--->

gidday matt,
didnt mean performance wise, i just have this 1426 and its going to need a bathtub head, so if i can assume a couple of grand for a 5 port, vs 3k for example for the twinky kit, then ill give it some serious thought :D

Jbeenz, i`d expect you "Could" get away with a big chambered 5 port for less than $2K, But i`m afraid that the twinky (even doing it cheap) would more likely end up at around $3500-$4000 mark (& upwards depending on the performance spec you`re after)

Lets see,,, ---> an 8v head at $500-ish, set of extractors at about $400-ish,,, maybe a set of bike carbs at $100-200-ish (to save money stuffing around with EFI computers & wiring & tuning & such,,, then the Twinky conversion kit at about $1800-ish,,, then all the other mods to the block face & oil filler & oil drains & engine breathers & rad braket & engine steady braket etc etc etc

It all adds up quite quickly hey?

Like i said earlier,,, if you wanted a cheapy then you just can`t go past the 5 port. Open up & pollish the chambers, angle & rough up the ports, cut seats & fit guides & crap & away you go.

The Twinky involves quite a fair bit more than just bunging it ontop... even tho my conversion kit will make it """Fairly"""" simple, it`s still not cheap by any means.
