i want to get it rebuilt. i want to up the valve sizes 1 size, flat top pistions, mill the head and block to make sure every thing is flat. the car is rated at 98hp new. a new cam would b nice but i get a feeling the it would have 2 b custom ground
what could i get out of this combo?
Well everything you are talking bout doing will have to be custom made. No one make oversized valves so they will have to be custom made, our engines have dish pistons so to get flat tops they will also have to be custom made and the cam will have to be reground. And if you dont port and polish the head bigger valves would be a waist. But if you did all of this and useing your stock carb you probly would be around 140hp.
What about the delta 272? is that a custom cam?
Im not sure bout that one ill have to check and see but all others are.Originally Posted by 89lx-r
they should have one on the shelf ready to go...i think you get a discount if you send in your core....price range is 80-100 bucks

you are not going to get 140 horsepower out of the stock carb, it's a weird feedback carb and there's really nothing you can do to it. if you want to rebuild the engine convert to a webber carb, there's a ton of info about it on here.
Then, for hillarity, turbo the thing.
