78.4 stroke * 96 bore

It's all in the combo.® Buy a bunch of mismatched parts and you'll have yourself a peppy little hand grenade. Buy a proven engine kit with the combo DIALED IN and you'll have yourself a long lasting, MONSTER.

Name me 5 people that have a "long lasting monster" in a 914.....let's say 5 years
without a rebuild for long lasting.
