I always hear about adding an 848 cylinder head, but not much else. Are there any interchangable piston sets from a newer engine? I would imagine quite a few of these motors need to be bored over because they're rusted out when first purchased to start a project. What would it take to slap some higher compression internals inside these things? Maybe licoln or someone has an answer for me? I know enough to be dangerous, but that's all. I've read a little about the older 216-261 inliners. From what I've read, they're a low compression, low rpm boat anchor. I'm not saying they're not cool. I dig the o.e. stuff. I'm just curious why there's no turbo build threads, or anything but a different head added to these motors? Maybe there is no way to hop these things up?


I can explain it to you, I can't understand it for you.
