With all of the talk about light weight, high horsepower replacement engines for our favorite Porsche, have we forgotten all of the lightweight, high revving 4 strokes out there? There are dozens of possible alternatives currently being housed in various motorcycle brands. Are there any working examples of this type conversion out there? Thinking besides the lightweight, they tend to be compact and have smaller cooling, electrical and mechanical systems. Would seem using one for a conversion would be a no brainer. What am I missing?
Thanks |
