[T3] Type engine longevity


Marc,
Just my opinion...use the machine-in 88mm p&c, or step up to the
90.5mm p&c.  Everyone claims a possible 10% decrease in life, but....I
feel you would appreciate the displacement increase with the 90.5, and
they would more effectively use the larger valves.
I didn't take the time to look at the cam specs, but you could also
look into running 1.25:1 rocker arms to get a little extra flow. 
Also, drop the single glasspack muffler.  There are much better
mufflers out there that flow better than a "glasspack", which could
help reduce back pressure and engine compartment temperatures.

Everything else looks like a nice package...
I am sure someone else with more knowledge and experience would be
better to get advice from.  I hope others on the list contribute to
this topic also.
