Bob,
The Performer RPM and the F4B are nearly identical in height and the famous "a"
and "b" dimensions, and fit fine without any modifications. There is the carb
linkage length and support bracket issue, solvable just as the LAT kit did for
the F4B.
And very keen observations on torque, rpm, and road speed that many overlook.
The torque curves on most of the modified engines I've seen, unless they are
drastic, do show an increase at the lower measure range, but this "measured
range" they plot is generally above 2500 rpm !!

Yeah, and the window extra door wind wing posts from my '66 Mustang convert.
Some people just can't throw anything away. Want some Whitworth wrenches? They
are "Slim Jim's".
