But Ron, you just described what V6 STOL owners **DO** use for the
engine.


Yea, I know. That's why I threw that in there.

It's not what Blanton did though. He ported his own heads, and had his own
cam custom ground. I don't remember what he used for a carb, but I'll bet it
was bigger than a 300 CFM 2 barrel. He also made his own headers (parts are
available now from northwest aero).

All that adds up to substantiating Blanton's claims, and simultaneously
explaining why others have not done as well.
