...thought it might be pushing the block a bit... the last thing I want to be doing is shredding blocks every 5000 miles! :o( We're after longevity here, that's why I'd like to push the engine speed up in order to save the gearbox.
I'll contact Lesco et al regarding boreouts of the block and report back :o)
Any thoughts on the other stuff? I'm after smoooooooooth engine even upto 7500RPM! This will be a long term project with an easy 300BHP as the initial target, but I'd like to have plenty of potential in reserve.
I should have mentioned that exhaust, turbo, water injection, big IC etc are all on the list too. I'm just not sure about reengineering the bottom-end of the engine.
