RE: [T3] suggestions for building a type 3 engine


almost sounds like a stroker with the 90.5mm bore is a
better choice.  im guessing that would be a funny
size.  most of the strokers ive seen are 94mm
bore(makes 1915 cc with stock stroke).  with the carb
setup i am planning on using i am going to guess that
the W120 cam will produce a more rounded powerband. 
im am planning on using 40IDFs(yes there is a kit for
the type3) not 34s(like a lot of guys use on T3s). 
ive herd with IDF carbs and a W110 you will get a car
that will climb any hill in 4th gear but will run out
of steam in the 4000rpm neighborhood
