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 --- Marc Bona <chillz1@angelfire.com> wrote: > The 90.5 mm pistons and barrels are a good choice > as thier wall thickness is the same as stock 1600cc > liners.
