Dave,
Val's right. Mine had a 1835 cc engine that is 69mm stroke by 92mm pistons. Compression ratio was 12.5 to 1. Had to run high octane in it and also plumbed in external oil coolers with electric fans to help cool it. Val and I have 48 IDA Weber carbs, one on each side of the engine. Basically one 48mm barrel for each cylinder.

Currently, I am transplanting a 2 liter turbo motor from a subaru into it.
