Need a change of pace, going with the 2 wheel variety hopefully. Mark is the guru for these motors! I spent several months planning the build with Mark, no stone was left unturned. I followed Marks advice on his recommendations for a reliable and fun engine. Before taking delivery of the engine, Mark performed a 2.5 hour break in procedure. So it's ready to go!! Almost forgot Mark puts this engine at 265 hp with around the same torque. This was based off his vast knowledge of these engines and the shear number he has built. Could be a little less or a little more! Contact info: Pverdeur@gmail.com
