I think the factory was a variant of the T03, but can't remember for sure.
I believe the exhaust housing was a .60 or .62 A/R.
The exhaust manifolds were "kind of" tubular headers...
Fairly equal length runners.  In stock trim and modified with chips, boost
cranked up, cooler thermostat etc, they will run 150,000 miles with no
problems (If they are well maintained)... According to the man that
designed the GN engine (Bernard Santavy) the engine was built to handle
600HP reliably.
Later,
Dave
