Not that I'm aware of. Talked to the Koni guys but they informed me that Rick in US has the absolute Monopol to get them made in smaller batches. From time to time he had them available. Not sure about the current status though. Another option would be to get decent used pairs and have them rebuilt ...

Konis all around but became scarce...

With 300 hp think you should be fine with a 2" exhaust system...

Not sure how the Edelbrock is laid out but I had this problem with a Weiand Manifold. Symptoms exactly as you described therfore pretty likely a wrong connection. Cooling loss was also minimal as you told...

Also had this same problem earlier. It's most likely a wrong connection of the water heater hose to the inlet manifold. Happened with a new aftermarket manifold which features swopped connections. Check carefully again and get it fixed promptly. Remember different from air water can not be compresse...

Appearantly Autosparks is only doing the LHD MkII version. Perhaps Rick in US ?
