He must have changed the ad as I didn't see the 1,133 number. Ironically or perhaps his production #'s are crossed but 1,193 is the # of 1975 Hurst Olds W30 455 produced.

A V8 engine fires 2 cylinders on the same side in succession as the other side has no exhaust pulse. Thus there would be no need for a cross over on a V6 engine.
