Assume a 901 transaxle and disc brakes for a nice-sunny-day-midwest-summer-car.
Also, Assume I can spell INJECTION correctly! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) -REVISION- Here is the pricing info Beck Spyder. The 2165 motor has a 9mm larger crank. I know in general shorter cranks spin easier, any concerens here? |

If you don't want to throw off the handling with a large engine and still have quite a bit of power, Beck was making a 4 cylinder cut down from a 930 case. Custom crank and just a couple of other bits the rest was 930 stuff. Power would be at least 200hp (Beck). I also heard that some shop that was doing outlaw 356s was casting the same type of block. Unfortunately I don't have any info on that. I would like that info myself if anyone has it. Maybe it would be a little less expensive that finding a 930 case and having the machining done. Than and no weld down the case. I'll bet you could get 250 out of it and it wouldn't even breath that hard. Just think...power torque, the size will fit (in earlier Beck cars, you couldn't go with to large an engine for lack of room), You get a heavier duty oil pump so you can run a decent oil cooler. Also you it's dry sump and while if you ran the oil tank for the size required for a 6 cyl engine you'd have more that enough for the 4 cyl.
Just a thought. |
