Just been looking on the net & came across these the other day. Emailed the guy from Low Bugget & Mr Kadron
& he said by slipping these in a 90.5/92mm bore the engine become a 1914cc? Is this true/possible that these would be stronger than the 92mm 1835cc combo or is it better to stick with the 90.5mm 1776cc if I plan on turboing or is he pulling my leg with this 94's cut to fit would be better, stronger & more HP than the other two combos?

Wy would you want to do this?
The main benefit to these clearanced barrels is strength on the case side. If your application is going
to use High Compression, NOS or Turbo this will leave more material around each head stud, lessening
the chance of each stud wanting to pull out or cracking the case. Adding this extra material around each stud will increase the cases strength and rigidity.

strengthens the case but weakens the barrels so theres the trade off
ur making the area where they sit in the case/heads spigot thinner by about 50%
theres not a real huge power difference between 1776 and 1916
check feedback on lowbugget b4 u get to keen on the idea

Know anyone else who sells bolt on turbo kits?
