Good Excuse
So I was flipping some donuts in my field with my Baja (yeah I know...it's not GL but my next one will be so you get to hear the story...I don't know why) and had my stock 1600 dp engine turning somewhere north of 6000 rpm...not good. Long story short, I blew the front main seal....or the rear main seal...whichever one is closest to the pulley (i.e. facing you when you look at the back of the car). I decided that this is a good enough excuse for me to buy a new long block and plug in a serious power upgrade. I'm thinking something like 74mm stroke with 92mm p/c (1993cc I think). Should be a tourque whore which would be nice with the greatly oversized rears on that thing. And as long as it's gonna be off the road for a few days I might as well do a disc brake conversion up front (nothing fancy probably). This week is too crazy at work to get started on anything so I'm gonna continue to run it as is for a few more days and probably park it some time next week. Any suggestions for engine size would be appreciated. I have dual Weber 40's so I think anything in the 2.0L range should be ok. As previously stated, I'm looking for tons of torque over big hp numbers. Thanks for the help.
