No number stub off manifold area?
Not from the photo's. No notches on the top fin gives it a plus point. All I run is cast 200's one jet spec &one TV 200 spec.. hence keeping a lookout for similar barrels..but I was shocked at the price paid for this item.

Please excuse my ignorance but whats the benefit of this type of Barrell?
Is it better porting?
Or is it so that it can run with standard tv gearing etc.
Surely that sort of money would be better spent on a more up dated cylinder kit.
Gt cylinder kit etc.

For me I am building a standard 200 and it would have been nice to have an original barrel he was selling the matching head as Well but that's just crazy
