So what I need to know is will the V10 bolt up to the 904? Will the 904 handle the V10? Is the V10 internally or externally balanced?Does any one make a manifold to carb the V10, What about ign?

To run a carb you would need a custom sheet meatl one made. For ignition the only carbed one I ever saw had (I think)two 5 cylinder audi distributers modified to fire the ten plugs, driven off the crank with some sort of fancy custom drive set up. I am not causing global warming, I am just trying to hold off a impending Ice Age!
