Salv has a new email which caused a few communication problems. He is now working on a custom set of cast liners and forged pistons for me which will give me a very reliable 1700 (1690cc) at a good price with only minor work on the block.
I spoke to Clive Cams and will have a profile suitable for Road/Track for my specs, twin 45DCOE, CR 10.5:1, inlet valves 43 mm, ex valves 37 mm. The cam specs should give me something that works from 4,500 to about 7,300-7,500 rpm.
Sure it would be better with 11.5 CR and a few more tweaks but I am after reliability. Also, fuel is harder to source, unreliable supply and more expensive when you are trying to run more than about 10.8:1 CR on carbs.
Before anyone chimes in, No, I don't want to go full EFI.
