What to do with a 1911 that I have lying around?
Clean it up, upgrade the valvetrain and turn it into a revver?
Sell it for parts?
Spend lots of time and $$$ and build a stroker of some sort from it?
What are people's opinions on this (assuming that I'm not going to go to a 6)?

Most TIV configurations have great low end torque and produce gud pull 4-6K.
I vote for building a high mpg engine!
Small bore, long stroke, lots of rotating mass.
GO for 50 mpg as a daily driver engine...if you get bored of it I'll buy it
