If it's a 74 motor it's a dual port. Dual (2 intake ports, 1 for each cylinder) or single (1 intake port for 2 cylinders) refers to the intake side of the head, the intake manifold splits into 2 pipes near the head on dual ports. The exhaust is the same either way.

Very cool Noah! I never heard of blast pack....maybe it's glasspack?

So now you just gotta come hang out with us some Wednesday night so we can check it out! :P

How about camping w/us April 30th-May 2nd? Check out the post on our upcoming events for more details.

Take care!
