you could probably get a gilmer kit for them, but it'd mean converting all the accessories to V-belt drive, and changing the water pump to a standard rotation unit..... not worth the hassle IMO

If you want a sound like that, get a Pete Jackson drive for the cam.
Personally, I like my car not to be picked as a modified car. "No show, all go" Chris

Yeah they sound tuff, but i think it would drive you nuts after a while, i think they're more suited a a Rod or Sunday cruiser.
You can cut the noise of them down by drilling small holes through the ribs though. |

No never used one personally, thought about it for the XD a long time ago... I know guys who have had them though.
The noise does drive you nuts after a while, nice when they cruise by though. |

It is incorrectly recorded (by wheels mag in the first instance) as a cleveland unit because it was built at the cleveland plant, but it is definately a windsor.
