Type 4 Store 2270, Type 4 Store 2270 Options

[lexatola]

I'm getting close to pulling the trigger on the 2270 engine kit from the Type 4 store. I'm curious if anyone knows what the difference between the kit and the Raby 2270 SR. I see they each have different HP specs. Do we think this is an actual difference or just a difference in written spec? Same cam? Same Heads? Curious if this kit can make better HP than 140? Headers? Other tested and ordained cam?

I'd appreciate any input based on experience,

Best,

Alex

When I sold the Type 4 Store to LN I also sold them all the engine kit combinations and I reconfigured them to be easier to assemble and tune. This was done to aid Charles and the team in regard to supporting the kits.

None of the kits that are sold are configured the same as my turn key engines. I use different combinations and I custom build each engine. The 2270 SR is just a base combination, when I consult with a buyer I will generally alter the combination to better fit their operating environment, and application, as well as the cooling system being used, type of fuel thats available int he area and about 15 other variables that is found on my order spreadsheet, all of which can change cam, head and other sub- system requirements.

LN has done very well continuing what I started with the Type 4 Store, and taking it to the next level, that I had no desire to do. Getting rid of the burden of the store has freed up all my resources to be used for R&D and engine building, which is where my passions always have been. I took the area where the store used to be and added 4 more engine assembly stations and another clean room, which has helped us reduce delivery times from one year, down to around 5-6 months for turn key engines.

Now, I have fun again, without any retail purchasers.

I have an Emory 356 that puts out about 120hp at the wheels and weighs in at about 1600lbs.

Here's my Raby Typ456 Outlaw, built from a 64C. It makes 185 at the wheels and isn't conventional. Weighs around 1520 with lexan windows and most other lightweight goodies. It was a SCCA/VSCCA race car for 40 years and its just as light now, as it was then, maybe a little lighter since I pulled the cage out of it when akin it into my street car again.
