> i really couldnt tell you for sure, i didnt have the motor built , when i got the car it had a new motor in it, i just know from the receipts of the 88mm pistons i think it was the same bore ill recheck with my bud he has my paper work.. the motor is real strong , i have never had a problem with it, it has great lowend torque and as far as highway its fine i drive it 70mph almost none stop everyday i havnt got brave enough to try faster im guessing it would hit around 80 85 tops 80-85? That's not very brave! My '68 had a 1641 with 110 cam,009, "baby" Dellortos and single QP exhaust and it would do 100 on the clock without too much effort. Not something I'd make a habit of, though, for the sake of my license, as well as the car. My current wreck has a self imposed limit of 60-65; otherwise I have visions of assorted rods and valves flying out of the back.......Describing my engine as "worn" is like describing the Titanic as "a bit of a bummer"..... ; ) ------------------------------------------------------------------- Pitch in!
