Finaly an engine thread for me :D
Love to read about all the nice engine combinations everybody have in there cars, beacuse itīs one of the main recipes for a callooker.
But theres no fonds for any enginebuild right now with three kids in school. The Stock 1600dp will have to give me the fun ride for the buck.
Always wanted a "callokoker" since i was about 12, but it took me 28 years before it happened. A powerfull engine would sit right on i the back, but as one gets older thereīs more to life so there will probably never be the "big cc, always wanted engine" after all.
Thats why this thread fits in my budget. Get the best out of the stocker and still having fun driving my "callooker" :)
hey bugsy your still having fun though! you could do changes as and when funds allow.could still be smiles per miles with a bit of thought ;)
Bugsy:
Yep!
That was the intention. Would be fun to get one thing after another just to get the feeling of what every litle change would do.
Like the change from 1300 to "big bore" 1600 with a header did. ;D

the stock 13-15-1600's are so "under-tuned"... I think that's why they make such a startling jump in power with a little love. Still cheap to do if you're resourceful. I know hot rodding the 36hp can be fun, but they break, and are so expensive now. You can spend thousands of dollars and end up with a 37hp.

Yep,
Just built a DP 1776, Engle 100, single Zenith, 009, header, your basic "budget motor" for my Son's Baja and it runs great!

whats the chances of getting 80/90 hp for say a 1000 pounds or equivalent in dollars? stock rods n crank all balanced with the clutch.possibly twin carbs,home ported heads,a mild cam of choice,bolt together rocker shafts,and a few odds n ends ;D
