Re: [T3] bernie bergman engine, yes or no


just dont set the compression TOO low.  on a 2110cc
type3 engine 8:1 should work well on the street. 

if you run super low compression(like gene berg would
suggest to you) the engine is very difficult to tune
and usually runs very rich.

and yes you can run dual weber IDFs or dellorto DRLAS
on a type3 and have it fit under the engine lid.  CB
performance and a few other companies make special
manifolds to fit IDF/DRLA carbs under a type3 lid.

on that engine make sure you have good heads that are
PORTED so you can get maximum power out of it.

for a 2110 street engine 42mm intake valves and 37mm
exhaust valves should work well, an engle W120 cam
will give you a good bottom end and midrange powerband
on an engine that big,  44mm weber IDFs or 45mm
dellortos would work well.  exhuast will likley
require removing the rear apron.  dont run quiet packs
on an engine this big run one of the new turbo muffler
setups(like a dynomax).  they are easy to recognize
they look like a HUGE quiet pack
