Maybe we should start a whole new thread on the two builds, let have some fun and open a can of worms.

go 90.5 to keep it little, then you could make it into a budget entry class, even std valves or 40x35 as a limit, std pan and a realistic minimum weight.

Hey Matt, bugger that ! 😂
Maybe we make it that you have to use Kadrons, and standard non counterweighted cranks.......thats Budget !!!!
Hope you're not in a hurry though Benito as I'm juggling a few projects atm !
Time to start a new thread 👍

Yeah, I'm not interested in a rules class.
My whole purpose for building this car is to put spare parts etc that I already have to good use. 😉

ooooh I like the sounds of this!
Come on Craig sounds like Ben is throwing down the challenge!
How about just cap the size at 2000cc and N/A only so what ever combinations can be used without a massive stroker showing up?
What about a running total that goes with motor/drivetrain as well so we can see where money is best spent? 😁
I've got a stock ratio 4.125 box sitting on the floor Shimmo says will take 170hp ready to go into Betty so I might join in and can the GB309/1.4 Rockers, L6 DRD's and 45 Dell's 1904cc I'm currently thinking and go FK44/1.4's, L7's and 48 Dell's!! 🙂

He's frustrated, been out of a fast car for too long
The idea about building similar cars with different drive and suspension set up could be a good comparison between the two cars not to mention the head to head run to the finish line while giving each other thumbs up or the bird😂
