1679 SP build advice / or easy way to 75hp single port

[bcrazy]

In my 63 beetle i have this SP engine:

1584 (1500 heads with very light porting work, 3 angle valve job)
Scat C25 (1.1 intake rockers, exhaust 1:1)
7.9:1
1 3/8 4-1 header with "quiet pack" exhaust
2xSolex 35PDSIT

This engine runs ok, but compression should have been a bit higher, and especially the deck height ~0.060, should be closer

Got myself a small mill, and now plan to build the engine again.
My aim is 75 Hp and good low end torque

Got a good set of 88mm P&C, but can bore the case for for 90.5 if needed. (put i prefer to no split the case)

So my plan it is to cut the heads for more compression (8.5-9.0?), or if necessary also deck the case.


Is this a good recipe for ca 75 HP, and 130-135 nm?

Machining on a short block is not a good idea. How would you keep machining chips out of the block?

Also, how would you go about securing the block to the table (<wrong term but, this is the best I can describe it) with the rods sticking out of the case?

If i need to correct deck height i will take the block apart.
If deck height measures to less than 1.5mm, i will just adjust the compression by machining the heads.

Decking the case is always a good idea, a used case is usually sagged between the cylinders.

If you dont want to split case to correct deck , take it off the bottom of the cylinders
