[Alpines] engine mods

[William Lewis]

I did use the KB grind on my camshaft.  The head was decked because it had 
rotted out and had to be welded.  I have to run supreme to prevent the 
knocking.  I didn't know anything about the Vizard grind.  Good thing to 
know.  If the head ever comes back off, I will make that change.

 I have the twin Zeniths and I put in the larger choke tubes (30 mm) and 
jets.  Going to the larger choke tubes and jets hurt the bottom end pull 
but helped the top end.  The car still feels like it is starving at the 
high end and it would be nice to have carbs where I can rejet them easily 
to play with various combinations.  Some folks think the Weber 28/36 is 
the best set up.  A friend of mine is running ICTs that he dropped onto 
the log manifold.  I am assuming that much of the problem with the log 
manifold setup is the log manifold.  I can't see that thing flowing well 
even though I cleaned mine up and tried to match it to the head best I 
could.

Is there a website where all this great Alpine knowledge is posted? 
Searching through the newsgroup archives is not easy.
