>btw that chevy four is still in production in mexico, in a 181-cube
version, for marine and industrial uses. the 140-hp 181 has long been
popular in >sterndrives.
That's true and for a long while it has been used in lower class circle
track racing. That's almost a 3 liter four cylinder! Same bore longer stroke
(different pistons). Don't kid yourself those things CAN be made to run!
There USED to be a good bit of speed equipment available right from GM under
the "Super Duty" label. Even 4 bolt main blocks.
I did one up for a local racer. He was quite successful till they found out
what size the engine was (he was claiming 2.5). I wouldn't have done that,,,
I always run legal,, wink,, wink.
But hey,,, that's just me.
