Does 7R engine case really worth it ?
I have a 72T motor and I plan to built a street 2.4 motor with some improvements :
-10.5:1 JE pistons, 85 mm -PMO 40 mm -JB racing twin plug distributor -S cams -SSI and 2 outlets sport exhaust I read that 7R engine case are stronger, but they are hard to find and priced accordingly... Is it a good idea to start with a 5R (72T) ? Comments welcome !! Thanks JD

JD,
If the engine is to be raced (continous operation above 7K), then a 7R is the only way to go and further, it should be shuffle-pinned as well.
