Can anyone recall which issue began Dean Kirsten's article on blueprinting a 2276 build?
I think this would be a good primer toward building a motor, so need to pick up the back issues. |

I don't know the first issue of that series but I know it was going in April 1998. Went for on and off for almost two years. Hope this helps _________________ Check out all the Air-cooled fun on my YouTube channel https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCl9IVR1svnDmH1i6yQ4_o1Q?view_as=subscriber |

Your best bet would be to buy the engine build book. It was always a collection of the whole series of magazine articles all put together.

That's my trans builder on the 1997 issue. Not only does he build the best tranny's, but can build a beast of an engine!
