Re:

Is this for your 320 convertible? Surely a factory system would be nicer as yours is such an original car? If you want a bigger bore go for a full 325 system. You might have to change the manifold as well though. Not too sure. I know the mainfold to downpipe gasket is different on a 2.0 to a 2.5.[/q...
