[QUOTE="StuF, post: 596437, member: 17262"] We had a very similar discussion at Skeg Vegas the other week ref increasing usable torque and power mainly to improve the buses pulling power. Speak to Graham at Midland Early Bay! I think the figures banded around were roughly £2k to utilise your current block and get it rebored to a 1776 - no need to modify tinware or engine bay. No real need to go for twin carbs as they really only affect the power at the higher revs which wont be required when towing. Single carb will need rejetting for the larger fuel requirements and an upgraded exhaust would be required over the standard one. Vintage Speed is a good solution. 2L type 4's are great engines but spares can be very hard to come by and their heat exchangers and tinware are like unicorn tears! [/QUOTE]
