Waddaya think?
I've considered this option. But.... fuel injection, electric fans, a/c, pwr windows, stereo, air-compressors & ignition system make me think I want something that charges regardless of my mph.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
