Steven,
Well I guess the dyno will tell the tale...this is not going to be a race engine but wont be a girlie motor either. I would be very pleased with one hp/cu in but am more concerned with a early torque curve and over 300 ft/lb total. Cam is looking like .5" lift and about 230' I/E duration, but nothing is cast in stone yet. Tomorrow I will to check the deck height to come up with the exact compression ratio. I'm expecting about 9.5:1 but want to be totally sure before putting anything together.
Twisted6 noticed a slight lip in the intake bowls - You can see these "lips" in picture #4 just under the valve guides. This bothered me (thanks Larry!) so I spoke to Weigt last night and he said yeah, that can easily be removed with a die ginder, but results would never be noticed on a street engine.
What an education I'm getting with this deal.
