hmm, nice thread resurrection.
I have a stroker build that's coming along quite nicely.
M44 crank
modified S52 pistons (I decked them 2mm and did new valve pockets)
M44 rods (much lighter)
Lightweight wrist pins from CP
This combo will be good for 1996cc's and 10.5:1CR
Lifters from VW's AEG engine work and they are much lighter
I have a late head with 6mm valve stems
lightweight cam gears (I am teh machinist, why not? :))
I'm still not sure what do do about cams, but I am exploring some possibilities. I have regrinds in my car now but the lift is less than stock and they really arent that impressive. I dont want to pay the $$ for schricks, but I might end up doing it.
With the lighter valvetrain I'm going to set the revlimit at a conservative 7500. Hoping for 140-150whp
I just need to get a flywheel and clutch so I can have the bottom end balanced, and then assemble it. Well, i also need to get the vw lifters, some seals and bearings, and work out the cam situation. I might just use my Delta regrinds to get it broken in.
