What engine?

DubCrazy · 2007-09-10T12:27:39+00:00

i have a 1776 in the back of my 1960 baja and its just not doing it for me. so i was planing to build a bigger motor but then i got thinking,mayeb its in my btter intrest to change totaly so, ...... here's the million buck question, what would be a better engine to go for? i know everyone has different opions but i want to hear fors and againts for all. i am not intrested in going 200k's an hour but it will spend a huge amount of time offroad and it has to be able to tow the tralier with the three motox bikes with out a real drama. I am not intrested in a slanging match just the know how of peopel who have all the differnt ennges fitted and the good/bad parts of doing it. one other thing is and i will have to goto main roads but what would be the bigest size i can goto in the bug? its a 12/60 build with wide 5 drums all round. i can guess that with any engine upgrade i will need to upgrade the brakes to disc but is there anythign else to bear in mind? thanks people.. steff...................................

Rotaries have a 2x multiplier on them for road legal purposes in Oz. So a 20B is classed as a 4L engine.

I'm finding that right now. Have my project Subie beetle but now I have a spare bug and baja kit. Does that mean the Opportunity has presented itself?

havent looked here for a while..
Richard my friend, we may have to catch up and have a little chat. I'm pretty sure there may be a unused 12A in the shed too, and the other one I need an excuse to build.
