[Fot] Billet crank and 1500 spitfire engine

[Mike Harmuth]

Hi FOTers, I'm toying with the idea of building a 1500 race engine for the
spit. I have the Moldex billet crank in my 1296 race engines and like the
smoothness created by the "ghost main" style. I know 1500's have a problem
revving (and staying together) so I was wondering if anyone has
successfully built a 1500 racing engine with one.

I'm looking because a couple of groups run vintage races in the northeast
on very hilly tracks and I'd like more torque. The way they classify cars,
a 1300 and a 1500 both compete in the same class. If I can get more stroke
and not give up too much top end (like a different diff ratio "provides")
I'd be willing to give it a try.

Has anyone found a solution to keeping a 1500 together to 7K (more than
once)?

thanks
