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, |

Cam, valves and stroke will all matter as to whether or not it is streetable.
IMHO Stick with your engine and get a good straight body (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) |
