AS 41 magnesiun case machined for 94mm
CB performance 69mm cro-moly counterweighted 8 dowelled crank

KS main bearings
KS conrod bearings
Mahle dual thrust cam bearings
Scat C 20 camshaft with billet aluminium gear
AA performance 94mm piston/barrel kit
Ported 043 Mexican heads with 40 x 35.5mm stainless valves
Scat 8mm cro-moly headstud kit
Scat case install kit
Scat crank install kit
Dizzy drive /shims and spring
Brosol 26mm HD oil pump
Empi oil pump cover
New case nut and bolt kit

AA performance 12 volt lightened cro-moly 8 dowelled flywheel
Scat solid shimmed rocker kit

This engine has a compression ratio of around 7.8: 1 and would suit any type 1 , 2 or 3 vehicle . The component value is $ 4276 + assembly of $ 550 . I will let this one go for $ 4500 to the first buyer with the funds . I also have a new set of 40mm dual Kadrons that would suit this for $ 800 extra and this will produce around 75 HP . This engine is in Wollongong NSW and is ready now , ROD , 02-42729920 .
More boost + More fuel = More power

Power is in the particular combo of heads, cam, compression etc. Size is only one part of it. The combo above would be a fairly smooth reliable torquey engine. I think Rod has motors with a few more ponies in the shed.......
