hi list,

i have come to the conclusion (i think) of not trying to do a stroker 
due to the costs involved...mainly due to the costs of a new set of 
weber carbs.  has anyone done a stroker and just used the SU's from a 
stock 1600?

i am planning to put a stock motor with minor mods in first, and then 
start saving for a newer motor like the KA24.  i am going to put in a 
2000 clutch assembly, Gary's EI dizzy, and a header.  i wouldn't mind 
doing other stuff, but i want it to make a difference if i do.  would 
doing a stroker crank/pistons form a forklift motor give me much 
advantage if i keep the SU carbs?  maybe a new cam too?  since the 
motor is out of the car, i am open to suggestions.  i could polish and 
port the head to match the intake & exhaust manifolds if that will make 
a difference.  would different valves help?  different springs?  
otherwise, i'll just limit it to what i've already got and leave it at 
that until i get another motor a few years down the line.
