Thats an old magnum grind. I wouldn't install that thing on anything that wasn't sporting some good heads, 10+-1 compression steep gears, and a 650+dp carb. It would make some killer mid range but the XE line is a little better. It's only a good deal if it fits your needs. I don't think I'd throw this one into a fuel injected engine
