Hey, All. I've searched the archives on here and have found some good technical info about build of 'peppy', or greater, B20 engines. I have a '65 122 wagon and I am interested in building (mostly myself, except for the machine work) a performance B20. I'm looking for probably one step lower than race, so a hot rod or fun street engine I guess it could be called. It seems that other than the 6 bolt/8 bolt crank thing that the lower end of these engines are generally the same. It also seems that the later, fuel injected B20s are desireable because of their larger intake valves. If I don't care too much about 6 or 8 bolt crank and if I'm willing to have the head machined for whatever is necessary to bring it to the spec that I'm looking for, then won't almost any usable B20 block do the job? This engine will not be abused or raced, and will be well maintained.

Please let me know what you think.

Thanks.

Deluxe
