the most you can bore is to a 2.2 liter i think!! put twin webbers on it! then some head work then extractors then it should be going alrite for like around 1500!

hummmm dunno about 2.2.....i got max overbore 60thou and the walls between the 1st, 2nd and the 3rd, 4th bores are gettin kinda small....i really dont think its possible to make much more of a difference to the power of it without looseing strength between the bores....only my thoughts tho....
