Lighning bug,
I had just wrote up a long answer to you question but I guess I selected a new tread instead of reply and I don't feel like rewriting again.
I've been running type 1 engines for over 13yrs and I gone through 6-7 stockers and 2 very hot 1641cc's. Most of them blew cause of my lead foot but a couple because they were old and weak.
Im going to "jump on the Type IV bandwagen" cause it apears to be the answer to all my problems; Durable, reliable, availible(I've already got a good used one, possibly another one and I know where I can pick up another one for $200 that runs. Cyrus2Dope just got one from a van-b-q for $167.), and most importantly I hopefully will be able to cruise in the fast lane in 110+ heat.
I know I can look wrong at Type 1 engine and it will blow up so I'm going to try something different. I was going to build a health 1914cc but my biggest fear is looking a couple of thousand dollars pile of scrap parts.
Nick
