If you happen to like Corviars and want an aircooled 6 on a budget - get it. Its a cool engine that isn't hard to build into something fast that is still aircooled but uses plentiful US parts. You need to reverse the spin of the engine but that isn't difficult since you have to rebuild it anyway.
Devil in the details as always, and you will spend a good amount of time tuning what will end up being a pretty custom engine. If you want something fast and modern, it is really hard to beat the Subaru engines. There are a LOT of them out there too, and more people know how o tune for them these days. Zach |
