well...in the early hours of the new year last night, i recieved some good news regarding a decent sum of money coming my way. The formula for such a windfall breaks down as follows:
1 part to wife / 1 part to savings / 1 part to drew's new engine fund So now things are looking promising for me to take the core that I bought off fitsbain and build out a 2.2 /4 for the 914. right now I'm thinking: 76mm stroke crank (which I already have) 96mm bore kieth black pistons dual weber 40s cam TBD (something mild) What a good feeling. I've been knocking on wood the entire time i was writing this post... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) happy new year to all |

where did youget a "76" crank from?
ive seen 75's, and 78's and 78.4's.... interesting i concur - 44's will be better suited for the 2.2 displacement |

Drew - Bitchin! Good for you bro. We can trade rebuild stories. I just split my case a couple days ago. Sent the 1.8L AMC heads to HAM to get opened up to 42X36. Got a cam that Raby suggested and plan on running Dell 40's (which are in mid rebuild). I'll only have a 2056 - nothing like the monster you are envisioning...
Happy for you & what a good way to start the new year! Now, back to geometry... -pt |

so 44s instead? From what I have read I thought 40s were the way to go but if i need to go bigger than cool by me. I really dont know....
Maybe the crank isnt a 76 but that's what it measured to from what i was told. I will do it again. Center lobe to center lobe right? rich...yeah i know im SORRY man about sleeping thru the breakfast. We had a low key NYE get together at our house complete with babies and board games and you figure it would be a tame night but...not so much. |
