Watched RIDES tonight on INHD and it was all about the 550 Spyder replicas. While I was watching, I started wondering why we could not put a high performance Type-I engine in our teeners.
What are the limitations? Any reason people are not doing it? BTW, I did search for this in the archives and did not come up with much... |

Why yes?
They just don't have the torque a type 4 does. Head design is different, type 4 heads flow better and have more potential for a bigger hp/torque engine. Only positive I can think of... Parts are super cheap and radical engine builds are affordable. |

Only positive I can think of... Parts are super cheap and radical engine builds are affordable. Type 1 heads flow way better than type 4 because of the difference in the exhaust ports.....That is the main reason they can be bumped up to over 300 HP fairly easily....BUT they don't last very long when you make that kind of power. Great for drag racing, but you will rebuild often. I have a type 1 (1776) in my dune buggy, and it makes probably as much if not more HP than the 1911 in my 914, mainly because of the head work, and cam. The torque's ok too. |
