Ok, getting ready to put the car up for the season.....
going in this year for some internal assessment and power up. thinking about stroking and camming. Thoughts? Going to run megasquirt, so wild cam is ok, I am not going to change pistons and cylinders out now. Just the bottom end so I don't have to do it later. Whats the experience with Engle cams? What about stroked cranks, where to get? what to stay away from? I need more than 77 hp!! Can't afford a Jake built engine yet (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) thanks, herb |

i'd say go with a agressive webcam. but getting the MS injection to fully utilize that cam is going to be the challange.
coincidentally, that's EXACTLY what we're working on here right now (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif) Andy |

Wild cam within reason. remember EFI depends on a vacuum signature unless you run alpha N. A real wild cam will be hard to tune. You should be able to get more aggressive that D-jet. Dave |

Yeh, stick with a milder bumpstick, not too tame, but not a drag cam.
If your stroke'in it change to 96's with Type 1 pins and journals, you need it to bring the deck down. Get a Web cam and matching lifters, at least they will replace their stuff if it goes bad. |

I just picked up my '76 2.0 from Brad Mauyer, and he put in a web cam, with the matching lifters, and 96 mm pistons. Still have to keep the rev's under 4k, put the engine pulls nicely so far... also, i have carbs, i think that carbs are necessary if you chnge the cam, the EFi can't really maximize the benefits of the cam.

Good info so far, but,
Who is stroking the motor, where to get the crank? The group overall is pro web cam, so that is the direction I most likely will go....thanks herb |

96 mm pistons and a 78 mm crank will give you 2258 cc. Demello supposedly makes good cranks http://www.demellocranks.com/New%20Price%20List.htm .
