KaferChris,

Thanks for the technical breakdown. I really enjoy reading stuff like this, even if it sometimes means that I dont understand all of it, lol! What I dont really get is the difference between 'A' and 'B' pistons. Are those different in the 'profile' on top of the piston?

Also, if I will be going for 1776 with stock crank, that means that machining of the heads and case are mandatory?

The other thing is there seems to be a bit of a 'problem' as to what kind of motor was in it per stock spec. Some on SBO thinks it 'should' either be a watercooled petrol motor or diesel(for the age of the vehicle). So I am waiting for the vehicle's registration document to see the first date it was registered. That way I can figure out if it was watercooled or aircooled. Also on SBO they think that if it was watercooled, it would be difficult to put in an aircooled motor in without overheating problems.....
