Re: [T3] Type engine longevity...Shad Laws

<x-flowed>Jim,
I have to agree completely with Shad on the semi-hemi issue.  It is a 
completely wrong design for our combustion chambers!  The idea will 
work, but if you run semi-hemi heads with 6.9CR and 35+ total advance on 
a stock engine you will have a nice 40hp motor.  And, under load your 
interal parts are going to suffer!  I have been around enough bergites 
that are always struggling with getting carbs to work, suffering from no 
power, etc.  Rescently several have gone to traditional chambers and 
can't believe how easy it is to tune them, drive them and the extra 
power they have.  Theory and real world don't agree here.
