Message: <blockquote data-quote="dormy72" data-source="post: 417194" data-attributes="member: 17648">I run a 1776 put together by Laurie Pettit last year, great for bottom end grunt, touring and economical to boot, getting around the 28 mark at a steady 55 to 60 fully loaded with trailer tent in tow, dont have to change down every time I get to a hill. Mine runs engle cam, twin webber 34picts jetted by Laurie and a vintage speed exhaust with Petronix electronic ignition.I would certainly recommend one, I did a lot of research and this was the ideal size for me, cost about 1900 including new heads barrels and pistons and machining my block and fitting new bearings etc and rejetting my existing carbs. Worth giving Laurie a call he's very informative and a wealth of knowledge.</blockquote>
