Big bucks when you start stroking cranks etc etc
Get Stan Pobjoy to do machining and advise on cam etc - then you can assemble yourself

1st - yes you have a Type 4.
Dont stroke - just go 103's or something
Give V Force (Roichard Holzl) a call.
He goes up to Lismore way a lot. Might be able to catch up and have a chat.
He does a lot of stock crank big piston bus motors

Yes 103mm bore pistons. I have, however, heard comments that big bore pistons in a bus are prone to leakage due to thinner walls and are therefore
not recommended. Stock FI system won't have much scope for suping up.
Typical Type IV upgrades are similar to type I. Look at, replacing stock FI with Webers, high ratio rockers, extractors, head work.
