I didn't build one myself, but was present at the build and dyno session. It was a 2386 with comp elims and had, from memory, about 13.5 compression. Can't remember the cam, but it was a Web and probably an 86 but B and not C because of issues with valve timing, lift and piston clearance. it made for a very nice road engine, probably the nicest I've ever experienced and made a max of 205hp at something like 6500rpm. The torque curve was also the flatest of any moded aircooled I've yet seen.
