i'm new here but not new to hotrods, choppers, or outlaw drag cars...i agree, in a light vehicle a shorter stroke, large bore engine will perform much better especially with a close-ratio tranny...it'll tach faster, detonate less, & have less maintenance...i'm here to learn..my next project will be a Cobra...i've been lurking here for some time now...its an enjoyable way to waste a day
