Hello and good day, please don't beat me up, i'm only asking at this point because of some things I found in my searchings. Here is the back ground as I was told, and I'm wanting you to to tell me if this is feasable or run away.
-Engine was bought complete, had low oil pressure. Race engine
-Engine completely stripped down for rebuild, crank and rods toast, needs new ones.
-106 mm cylinders and rebuilt heads to match. The heads look brand new.
-Fabulous looking duel webers. Unsure how big?
Labor won't be an issue in cost, but can this be a street drivable engine or is it just too big and will not be reliable?
Thanks,

Always depends on the price, but if that's really a "race" engine then not many of the parts will live comfortably on the street. And if you need to replace the cam, 106mm P/C's, heads, crank, pistons, detune the carbs, etc to make it streetable, what exactly are you buying anyway? Not even the case, with spigots already machined for those big cylinders. I'd suggest that unless you're a racer and can use that engine that instead you build a street motor. Unless that "race" motor is dirt cheap You'll be time and money ahead.
