Hi all,
I'm considering building up my stock 1800 into a 1911 and wanted to get some opinions before I pull the trigger. This will be used for street driving and autocross use so I'd still like a smooth idle and road manners. The pistons I found are manufactured by AA, looking online they have mixed reviews and from what I understand are sourced from China. Anyone have any first hand experience with this brand? I then talked to web-cam and they recommended their 00-152 mild street cam. specs are: Valve Lash (Inch): .006" Valve Lift (Inch):0.422 Valve Lift (mm):10.73 Advertised Duration:273° Duration @ 0.050":234° Lobe Center:108° I plan to use my existing weber 40IDF carbs, what jets and venturi size should I use? Has anyone built something like this before? Thanks in advance! |

Agreed, I'm sure the 1911 will be a nice engine, but it doesn't seem too expensive to get the 2.0 crank and rods to make a 2056. What's the saying? Oh yeah, "no replacement for displacement!"
Just to throw fuel on the fire, I have a nice un-turned 2.0 crank on offer now that I'm going Subaru 6. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) |
