alright so, we can rebuild a v8 and make plenty of power, we can do all of the work in-house with some help from a friend of ours who who's a machine shop...
my question is: does anybody rebuild their own 1600 motor (besides the obvious big name motor builders)... do any "home grown" 1600 guys rebuild their own motors??... are you able to be competitive or have you ever heard of anybody doing this??...
im not saying that we would be able to make the power that a fat, wiks, or majors motor would make right out of the box but if we already had one of those builders motors and decided to rebuild it ourself or even overhaul an old one .......IS IT POSSIBLE to still be competitive ??? (this is all considering we have the correct components ... pistons, rods, cam....)
im think'n about trying it, would like to learn from others mistakes first ..
im all about the "home grown" racer! and if i can, i would like to do it myself !!!
