Just use the block and head bin the rest and run TB's job done. But as for revving it hi and the high stroke on it, erm un sure.

just use a 1.6 bottom end, known entety.

SBD 1.7 indeed has a short life due to the rpm's it runs, like new shell every other event and new block end of season, it does how ever make 267BHP and 148lbs.

hmm hollow crown pistons *dribble*

im looking into it now.

im planning: x18xe on tb's with omex management, headwork and custom exhaust manifold. Was looking at the z18xe but the mounts will be a pain in the arse.

the way i looked at it was...

use f13cr gearbox - 2 mounts the same
even if the engine mount is different, will it really be that hard to make a mount up?

i may have to look into this also...
