Therefore, the ports of our engine have been\u00a0enlarged and\u00a0the combustion chamber has been flowed moderately. Also, humps and edges in the inlet manifold have been smoothed out and the exhaust is 4-2-1. Most importantly, the engine is equipped with a GT cam.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Body\">With the 0.06\u2033 overbore our data show a power output of some 80 HP at 5200 rpm. Not a high revving engine but an engine with good midrange torque.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Body\">With this setup up the car is lively and has no hesitation during acceleration.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We have learned from an early owner that SB2237 was originally delivered with a pre-crossflow engine with one Weber 40DCOE 2.
