- I would add replacing the snout fan with an electrical one, light weight flywheel, and engine balance to that list. A few people have dynoed their sixes, hopefully they'll speak up. Kendall -- Origin

- There are a few dyno charts with some engine info on the 6pack web site. Hopefully this link will work. http://www.6-pack.org/sixpack/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?t=6302 It would be nice to get more, and mor

- Properly setup dual Strombergs will work fine for your needs, though if you intend to spend a lot of time at high RPM you should look into an electric fuel pup and regulator. I ran out of fuel at hig

- It's going to cost a lot more than you imagine. I have a couple of engines with similar work done on them and the $$$ was well in excess of $5k. If you are honest and you do the math, it all adds up
