The folks at the airpost are paving the taxi strip that we use. We have our fingers crossed that they are going to pave the entire width of it. If not we got a big ass hump to drive over. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif) Paul |

We absolutely need all the details !
Which pistons and cylinders ? What compression ratio ? Induction details ? detail on the carbs etc . . . Head details: port and valve sizes Which cam? Air filter ? Exhaust (although we can see some of it ) ? Crankshaft ? counterwheighted (sp?) or not ? tranny ? Rods ? How is twin plug done ? Which engine cases ? The reason being: I have a 2.2 E MFI in my car, counterweighted crank and 5R case. I also have steel flares waiting to be welded on, and a short stroke 2.5 is an engine I've been seriously thinking about. Fabulous that you've achieved this ! Michel Richard |
