1700 engines back in the day
Tony M:
Yes in the 70's i had a 69mm roller crank x 88mm ks - ported and big valve heads by R&R in napa - ran a single 48ida carb - that little motor was a screamer - cant remember what cam was in it right now - what a good running motor - wish i still had it - blown rod out the top of the case ended it.
RhoadsVW:
My first engine I built was a 40horse with an 83mm "big bore" kit from Autohaus,with [counterbored by rimco]1500 sp heads,engle 110 cam,010 dizzy,300cfm holley bugspray with "custom shortened" isolated tube manifold,with an 4 bolt empi exhaust.
next came a 1700[69x88]engle 110,IDAs with stock dual port heads,just plunged the heads 0.100thou and it was good to go[picture number 18],then progressed to a 74x88 with an engle 125,same heads,deano pulley,IDAS again with S&S header with single glass pack [picture 2 & picture 12]
Then finally the current 82x88 motor :) picture 13

Frenchy Dehoux:
I just found this past weekend a set of EMPI 88 all aluminum barrels and pistons I had stashed away when I worked for Steve Tims. I have way to much junk laying around.

Sell them to me Frenchy. You know they will go to a good cause.
