Re: [T3] stroking the type 3


  I don't think you would have any trouble at all running a 2007 cc
(90.5x78) engine in your fasty. Toby has one and has shown that a properly
speced and built 2 liter is a very good engine in a T3. Stroke in itself has
minimal impact on cooling but the largest return in added torque. And
remember that a T3 is anywhere from 200 to 400 pounds heavier than a bug but
has way better cd numbers and you will be pleasantly surprised at the cruz'n
capabilities of a T3.
