     Mark,
     
     This may be pushing it for an IH engine, but by keeping the intake 
     "away" from the exhaust (hot) manifold, you'll get a colder incoming 
     air/fuel mix, and colder = denser = more power out of the engine.

Can someone explain the pros and cons of crossflow engines (196) vs 
other 4 cylinders with intake and exhaust siamesed on the same side. 
Crossflow designs are easier to work on ...but is their an advantage 
to keeping all the plumbing on one side?  Thanks!  mark
     
PS.  Recommend an acceptable hp target and differential ratio for 
general Scout2 towing of a 1000 lb load.  My 196 must be shifted to 
third for most hills and I question ever towing with this engine.
