Hi, pondering my next engine and was wondering if anyone had experiences of big bore long stroke motors in road cars ? any experiences welcome. Thanks

Loads of torque , easy to drive , need to have gearbox , drops , diff etc to be strong . Would recommend 1460 ( 73.5 bore / 86 stroke as best combination , give,s that extra bit of metal between bores than 1480 ( 74 / 86 ).

We have built a few of them .

My old long stroke (73.5 x 83 stroke) gave just under 1400 and was VERY torquey, gave a real kick in the arse when the the loud pedal was pushed. My current short stroke will climb hills at a pace but really needs to be revved, is crap out of slow corners and may well be coming out at the end of the year to go back to 1400.

Minispares is currently building one for Bill Richards
