Hmmm, I see, I see (scratching my chin). I forgot about the heads for a moment (DUH). OK, I checked out Otto's site, and there are 96s and 96.5s. How about one of those, with stock heads, 40idfs, mallory, and a cam? - that doesn't sound too crazy. I'd like it to rev, but would sacrifice a large power surge for a long steady pull from low to upper rpms.
I'm not too far from Watkins Glen (New York), and would like to take it there for an occasional DE maybe. Does that type of driving require a certain type of power characteristic?
Is 120-130hp reasonable, with diligent balance/tuning? I see you mentioned that Dave

, it sounds about where I'd like to be.
Rock On!
