If you are planning on using the 2.0 head on the 1750 block, to get bigger valves, as Ernie Cabrera in Atlanta did on Jim Brown's engine, even though welding...
Interesting question, but is there any legal application for such a beast?? Where would you race such a thing as this? ... with a toasted crank (it had been...
You can weld up the combustion chambers and machine to fit. But there is the posibility of messing up the compression. You can raise the intake about an inch...

I had a 105 series 1300 short block professionally rebuilt last winter. I ran it briefly and drained the oil. I found a lot of small bright non magnetic...
When you say the particles are "non metalic" do you mean they are not magnetic? Or that the are not any type of metal such as aluminum? There are people who...

Russ, More than for a trophy, I would run the R tires for the joy of it, they are sticky! My choice evaluating price and performance would be: Kumho V710 Ecsta...
Russ, Since you are not going to be running alot of negative camber I recommend the Kumho V710s. It has very, very stiff sidewalls and works well with little...

I know this is a wierd request, but I've got to find a toothed drive belt for the dry sump oil pump on an Alfa Ellegi-Motori F3 engine. The belt I'm replacing...
