So, after a couple of mishaps along the way I have decided I am going to scratch build a new lump for my 71.
I've decided to stick with 1584cc for the capacity.
I'm going to put in a counterweighted crank and get the bottom end balanced, make the engine as smooth as I can.
I already have a set of 1.25/1 ratio rockers, should I couple this with a 100 or c20 cam or will it be overkill?
I'm sticking with stock heads and adding a pair of 36IDFs (again that I already have).
I'm going to run a VS exhaust too.
Finally I'm planning to run a full flow system, I"m not bothering with a remote cooler but I do want to run an external filter, to give the engine some extra longevity.
I've noticed a couple of places are selling complete engine kits but I don't know if they are made up of good quality gear or budget stuff.
Any advice anyone can give is welcomed.
