T3: Re: 1776 or 1904cc motor in fastback???




 I got a 1776 put into my square, it is supposed to be near 100 hp or 
so. The mechanic said that he adjusted it so that it would  not run as 
hot (I think that he made it run slightly rich to do that, or something) 
it  has (from looking at the bill) a Web 118 cam counterweighted. The 
engine accelerates well but the top speed is not all that fast 75-80mph 
floored. No problems with it overheating yet (in a year & a half)
