Yeah.
That said, no need to go fancy to get a nice engine.. just ditch the stupid W110, get a proper cam and do the heads well. (Or send them to Tims, Brothers or Brian_e to get them detailed.)
1914, Web 163, detailed 041 (GO3 heads) 9-1, 1,22 rockers, Chinese 40 IDF´s, Magnaspark ignition w. Pertroniz E core coil, 1½" A1 sidewinder.
Or 1776/1835. Detailed stock heads, 9,1-1, Web 218/119 cam, Modified 36 Dellorto´s, recurved Bosch SVDA, VS Sport muffler.
Or this 1955. CB 2242 Cam, detailed 041 heads, 9,3-1, Spanish 40 IDF with slightly reworked Update kit for better overall fuel distribution, 123 Bluetooth distributor, copy 1 5/8" Sidewinder with a homebrewed muffler.

| Yes I know there are alot of unanswered questions about this engine, those will come in time and only after I pull it out of there, get it split open and get my end play, thrust cut and line bore checked but today I've been working on a brisket and we are almost there. Turkey,ham and brisket....it just screens Texas Thanksgiving. I would like to Wish all of you a happy thanksgiving.God bless. |

You act like this is something different than any other thread… and it ain’t a mess , its typical especially of a broad questioned engine build

Why? Just because your irritated with the post having too many opinions? Thats stupid, this is a discussion board ppl discuss thing and offer many many varying opinions on lots of other build threads so why is this one be different? I’m sure i could find a dozen other “ what engine should i build” threads that are identical to this one, or a “ what cam should i use thread”, etc etc…
With that attitude I’m surprised you haven’t locked the thread already …

Too many cooks, who does the OP listen to?
An engine built by committee will be a mess.

Obviously you don't understand that a "moderator" and have and express their personal opinion. Just because I disagree doesn't mean I should lock a topic.

OK, here's a suggestion that will get the thread back on track and provide further help for Knockerblocker:
Let's hold off until the engine is broke down and inspected. See what parts are worth reusing. Revisit the budget and go from there... |

| I like hearing from every one sure there is no clear plan right now but we are at the beginning, there is no definitive answers there are so many variables right now until we know what we have and come up with a plan all comers are welcome. |

The things you need to decide on are:
1) budget
2) goals
Then evaluate what you have and how can you achieve your goals with your budget. And if you can't then lower your goals or increase your budget.

| The plan now is to get that engine out of there. My jack is in the shop and it's been raining here in Castroville TX all week but my step son has a jack that might work so not to far in the future I feel this will happen. I need this to happen. |
