thanks guys appreciate the responses

as for the whole original thing the 292 will be close enough for the authorities to pass as we have a 14% rule where you can go up 14% size/power from the engine the car with originally came out with.
john no offense was taken and im glad your adding your input as it helps me see it in a different light.
thanks again guys. the main reason i didn't want to use one of the 216 i have resting in the garden is due to the oil system as i keep hearing bad things.
thanks again
jeff
