And can you belive I was actually contemplating using that engine in the 74
Midget project! Took some measurements and it's simply way too big. And
after watching that video I am kinda glad it doesnt fit! (fit correctly at
least) Twin turbo stright 6! Some guys have em pushing to 500hp with serious
modifictations. I have since humbly chosen a smaller 4 cly. An updated
version of the 1.6L 4age Toyota mid 80s corolla engine. It will be the 20
valve version (5 valves per cly) pushing 160hp stock. That should be plenty
:P More info on that project once the Sprite is back on the road in correct
form. First have to restore one, before hacking another. 1:1 ratio is good.
