A little sound bite of a Straub 229/241 in my 496. Long project with help from this site, but she's finally on the road. Nothing could be finer!
Could not be happier with the way it runs and pulls. Idles at 900. It's a torque monster everywhere that sounds wicked down low, yet cruises totally smooth and docile sounding at 2100. Was unsure, but yes, it supports power brakes no problem. And who needs a kickdown switch with this much torque.
Cheers,
Straub 229/241 roller
