Re: Looks so good to be so bad!

Since you have to go through it any way maybe its time for just a little 871 and maybe a superchiller? All you need to do is change pistons right? Ok ...maybe the cam too. I know its probably part of a matched set so you will have to do the other engine too but hey you need to finish the summer strong right!

Re: Looks so good to be so bad!

OT,
These are my 1st non blown motors in over 7 years, wanted to try something different. I am already building some race fuel high compression versions of these though.
