<x-charset iso-8859-1>Everett: Thanks for the head's up. I actually know Competition Engineering quite well. They put a new 1600cc dual port in my '69 Westy when it blew up in Phoenix. I just gave them a call out of curiosity to find out what the cost of building that motor was. They estimate about $9500 when all was said and done (motor only). Pretty steep if you ask me, but I'm sure it puts a grin on the owner's face! Big type 4 looks more attractive in light of t3 turbo expense.
