I have a few questions about a new motor I am building up. I have allready purchased a 78.4 stroke CW crank from European Motorworks with T1 journals and Scat H beam 5.4 rods. I will be going with 96mm pistons unless I can reliably get away with larger P/C's. It will be a daily driver with a DTM shroud.
1. What Compression Ratio? thinking 8.5 or 9:1... Is that to much for street? I will be using atleast 91 octane, 93 is available here but not everywhere.
2. What cam? I want this to have low to midrange power. This motor will see nothing over 6K RPM.
3. What do I need to do with my heads besides bore for bigger P/C's (They are 1.7L)? P&P??? how big on the valves?
4. What carbs? 44 IDF's?
5. Anything else I may be missing.
6. How much HP will this engine make?
Any thoughts, opinions or help will be greatly appreciated.
thanks for the info.
