Not so far from the truth.

There is nothing you can do that retains the swirl-port heads that's going to give you good power.

Moving on to a Vortec-headed engine can make all the difference.

(I just got aluminum heads for my '88 work truck back from the machine shop. The swirl-ports are going to be history sometime this winter.)

Ten trillion to start with, increasing as needed from there, PLUS compensation for the sickened, and "wrongful death" settlements for the families of those who didn't survive. END trade with Communist China.
