It would be a whole lot easier to purchase a G200W to begin with. There are a number of components that need to be found that will have to come from a G200W to begin with.

All you need is to buy your own casting foundry and manufacture a new head!  |

| The only way to do it would be similar to Racegems idea (except pay an existing business to do it). The twin cams have a completely different block. |

No MSg. Too bad, that stuff rocks! I have a shaker full of it if you want some.
Anyway, I thought that the gallery's were different, and thats a main reason they dont bolt on (and work). |
