K&B 3.5 DISC ROTOR...?

Postby oldlugs » Wed Mar 29, 2006 7:46 pm

Hi there nice K&B/MECOA people!

I've recently picked up an engine that I hadn't seen before, and I'm wondering if this was once a production K&B, or if the crank & rotor cases are aftermarket, or from another manufacturer's engine...? I know the throttle's aftermarket (Prather).

Here's a pic or two. Any info.? Thanks!

This has a Prather exhaust throttle and it looks like a CMB valve/back cover with homemade venturi.

Thanks for that... CMB, eh? I'd no idea one could be adapted... So, is the front case (bearing housing) original K&B? It also looks different than the ones I have on my 3.5 drum rotor engines. Thanks again!

I didn't even notice the front hsg. Yes that must be home made too. K&B never made it.
