I would love to have the brains and experience that some have for this kind of work. Without getting into the money it took for the build, which is really terrific, I really am facinated with the line boring and piggy backing of the bearings. I also wonder whether its possible to revisit the rod and piston issue with these motors, i.e., can a different stronger lighter rod be used and if so, can a lighter stronger piston be matched up to get better compression then stock 261 pistons (without having to go to custom designed pistons), for all of us backyard builders.
