Built a 1914 for a friend , with the parts he had , Engle 120 , ported heads 42/37,5
9,5 comp.  Python 15/8 exhaust  , made 148 hp , not much Down low ( too big ports)
but a lot of fun 👍

I'm pretty sure Pete Roberts at Funkenblitz built the motor. Give him a call as I'm sure he will know

Yes it was Pete that built it. Didn’t want to bother him about it though.

If you can find someone with a chassis dyno that’s the best.
I had mine done at a car show and it was cheap!
