I would suggest checking with some of the re-man and ask them if they have one they have bored....say .030 oversize, with new stuff in it. Then once you get it put in a mild street strip cam.(may void warrantee?) Then just dress it up with twin carbs etc. Now if you really want to hotrod do as I did.....Go V/8 chevy. One thing for sure. It doesn't cost much to check and compare, and then check and compare some more until you have what you want. Ask questions and keep notes. Whew, thats my .03 worth!! | | |
