I was torn between a 1641/87? and a 1776. From what I've heard /
read...Running a large engine
is going to die quicker than a smaller stock engine but the trade-off is
less power! There seems
to be many after market pieces however it seems that they are not as
reliable as stock.
        My ideal engine might be a 1641 with 34-3 carbs and a deep sump oil
pan with
connected extenal oil filter. I might put some of that dryer tubing for a
little extra cooling ;)
