cool lets share the knoledge.
Firstly if you can afford it go for 90.5's giving you a 1776, I've been told that evan though the 1640 is a great engine they can run a little hot. As far set up goes I'm looking at a garret turbo closly I figger with some creativity I can jam the turbo above the tranny by cutting into the floor and boxing over the top to keep out the heat and noise, then an intercooler above the axyle to one side. Its going to be a little tricky but it should work all other details I'm still sorting out.:thumb

Hey Jimmy

1776 is simple stock 69mm crank counter waited preferable with 90.5mm pistons, thats it intant 1776. When I ran mine I had anengle 125 cam it was a sweet engine. You can only build what you can afford. Let me know if you want the rest of the spec of this engine. It had plenty of punch and did a 15.5 sec quarter and I drive it daily it was sweet lots of people were suprised.

Catcha ya

sorry forgot to metnion that you will have to get you case machined to take the 90.5's also a good idea to get crank balanced with fly wheel and clutch.
If you can afford it get the fly wheel lightened as it will let you rev a little harder

Cheers
