Hi,

I recently decided to build my motor to a 2054 with a 74 crank and 94 AA c+p. I now found out someone near me is selling a 78 crank with a leightweight flywheel for €450. What should i do? Rest of the specs will be cb performance panchito heads with titanium retainers, dual springs and snakeskin valves. A compression ratio of 9:1. Deck height 0.040” and combination chamber 60cc. FK8 cam. Was thinking on scat 114.8mm H beam rods. 1:1.25 rockers and maybe a EFI fuel injection system. A magnaspark II ignition system. exhaust wil probably be an CSP super competition without j tubes as I want to keer the heating . Cooling wil be a original gol set. Case will have the hoover mods and full flow done to them for optimal lubrication and cooling. Remote mounted oilcooler. AT trans.

It depends heavily on both cam and exhaust choice. There is a significant difference on how a 2074 and a 2165 behaves when/if everything else stays the same.
So if cam etc is already chosen we need to know what that is. Also which engine behaviure you want.
