Pork, reground cam, mikuni's, make the rest!

best thing to do is search the old pirate unimog archives and see if the posts there under mogadillo still show the cam grinder and the manley valve part numbers for the biger valves, find a good hot rod head shop and get them to rework a hi compression head with the manelys and build ya own intake and exhaust manifold to run. All u will hear is a lot of whinning in the archives about no parts off the shelf or over priced used junk aftermarket carbs that will catch on fire when your mog is leaning over to one side off camber. The diesel suxxs worse than the gasoline, there are new parts out there and people who want to work if ya got the buxxs. The Mikks are snowmoblie carbs and are a sweet outfit to tune and jet, u can buy 3 of them for what one crummy new stock carb cost nowdays. You need to buy a junk head and intake&exhaust manifiolds for fabbing ya custom intake and exhaust, it will be the most fun u have ever had to build ya own if ya got the skills, header companies have weld ya own kits 4 cheap diy, build the header like a giant tork pipe on a dirt bike, use cheap stuff until u get a good intake and exhaust made up. Be carful on the id ing of the heads, some will not work due to various hassles. The cam grinder was in oregon or across the line in canada i think?
