I have just finished another engine this week and it is ready to be picked up or shipped out . This engine has been assembled with all brand new components with the exception of the rocker arms and has the following components ;
AS 41 magnesiun case machined for 94mm
CB performance 69mm cro-moly counterweighted 8 dowelled crank
AA performance 5.4" cro-moly I beam conrods
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
Bosch oil pressure switch
AA performance 36mm cro-moly gland nut and washer
AA performance 12 volt lightened cro-moly 8 dowelled flywheel
Scat solid shimmed rocker kit
Scat swivel feet adjusters

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 .

Chris , this is actual engine HP quoted . This engine will produce 56HP at the wheels on a chassis dyno , ROD.

Rod, just a question, i am hoping to build a 1916 when the funds come up but was hoping i would get many more ponies than 76 or 54 at the wheels.. I'm not baging your prouct but thought this size engine was capableof mor HP? Just looking for info not anything else?

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.......
