Seems to me I remember Michael Salter had an article about the 100-6 =
blocks not having as much meat for over boring as the later 3000 =
versions.
Surely that would be a factor?

Honestly, for most levels or road tune, there isn't a huge amount of =
difference and one nice thing about the westy head is it is less thirsty =
with the fuel, and if I recall there isn't much penalty on torque, most =
of the penalty is over 3,000 rpm, which for a road car really doesn't =
matter much.
