Another point of interest, The stock heads, and the heater box exhaust limit you to 80-90 HP, but that is quite an improvement

I think to make the needed changes to get more power than that from a 1600 is going to also necessitate strengthening and ballancing

LOL!

It's ok Brendan, I understand, just a suggestion though. LOL!

If I were you, I wouldn't spend too much on the 1600, if your trying to save up for the t-IV. Try doing what a lot of those Honda guys do and change the intake and exhaust, wouldn't be much of an improvement, but it should help a little...
Good luck, I might do the same thing you're doin....when I'm ready

When should I cal you?

Well I do have a sneaky pete nitrous system. Hmmmmmmm.

I'm pretty sure all I need at this point is a cam with lifters, rebuilt carb, and some gaskets and seals. I was thinking of running a straight cut cam gear set and drilling the crank for eight dowel pins instead of four.
