Oliver-

I was just curious, what is your opinion on C/Wing a 66mm crank?? Its going to be a daily driver, not to be reved over 6000. Would it be needed, or would it be overkill?

Also, I'm wanting quite a bit of torque, and was wondering if I should go with a 1910cc (66X96) or get a 71 crank/rods and step up to a 2056. It would be put on the highway quite a bit though as well, as I am in LA. So far, this is what I've figured, wether to be a 1910, or 2056...

1.8 case
Stock rods, shot-peened, ARP bolts installed
KB Hyper Pistons (96s)
42X34 valves, 8.5:1CR, moderate head work, (de-burred, slight enlarging of ports, nothing too drastic) new seats, cromo retainers, etc...
40 IDFs OR DRLAs
Web-Cam, grind #86 w/ matching lifters
OP DTM cooling system
210 flywheel, stock weight
Mallory UNILITE dizzy (I've heard many GREAT things about this, I refuse NOT to have one!!!)
completely lost for ideas about exaust, BAS maybe.....or something custom???


Thanks for any help you give, it's truly appreciated.
