| 40 | Comments | Lots of torque. This engine would feel better with a lightened flywheel of about 14lbs. This engine was very inexpensive to build and it's lots of fun to drive. The compression is a bit high because I am at 5500ft altitude. I would recommend ~8.5:1 at sea level. The heart of this engine is the Web 218 camshaft. The added lift over the Engle 110 cam makes a huge difference with the stock valved heads. |
