    2F Questions - Simple for those that know...

    Adding some more info, later model 2F's (somewhere in 79) used a flat top piston vs a domed piston in the early 2F's so the heads are different for these two versions.

    Your thoughts on buying a 80 series in 2025

    My '97 was my Dad's from new and it took all his abuse in far west Texas so no rust. I got my chance at it once he reached the stage of life where he could no longer drive and my Mom wanted it gone, so I sent a truck, helps to start for free. I've owned two 40's and also have a 100 but this...
