If the choice were between the 2T-C pushrod engine previously mentioned, 
and a 2T-G or GEU twincam, it should be a no-brainer.  The mountings for 
the engines are virtually identical, as is weight, and the power output, 
rev range and flexibility of the twincam is much superior. If one wanted 
a real romper-stomper, the 3T-GTE twincam turbo would be the choice, but 
that might present a few more difficulties in adapting.


Cheers.
