Building the perfect Type 1 motor

[Junior]

Okay Im having a break now So is it possible to use 1:25:1 rockers in a stock 1600 motor or would I have to put my weber carbs on first?

[Tony Z]

you can do anything you want.... but your exhaust wont allow the gas out

[Junior]

What exhaust would you recommend for me when My motor is finished?

[Tony Z]

I said it before.... its all part of a package. All things have to work together. Figure out exactly what you want, then get the parts to match.

on a stock engine the carb and exhaust are there to limit your engine power and rpm, higher revs will kill the crank and case (stock)....

My parts plan so far

1:25:1 Rockers
1914 pistons and sleeves (94-69)
external oil cooler and fillter
counter weight 8 dowel crank (Dave R)
line board and full flow case (Dave R)
36mm Idf Weber carbs
board heads (intake and Exhaust)
stainless steal valves
110 Engel cam
009 dizzy
parts balanced: pistons and con rods ,fly wheel, crank
still deciding on a fuel pump and exhaust

[Tony Z]

decent free flow should work fine. 1.5" if you can get

Ya but I don't want it to be to loud if I can help it

You will want an electric fuel pump for the two IDF's. I have had a series of Facets, some great some not so great, all 4-7psi. Some died very young, one other is burnt to hell but still works, even without insulation on the wires, go figure.

But I have ended up with Huco pumps in my cars. No further problems.

I must admit I have not investigated why the Facet pumps failed. It is on my considerably long "to do" list. It's strange because Facet is a good name...

Is it possible to add 1:25:1 rocker to my motor with every thing els stock even the carbs (will it run better)? With out messing up my motor?

[Ron&Gill]

You can, but it won't make much difference, if any.

Okay so i am going to keep every thing off the motor and only when i have every thing then i will start putting it all together
