Post subject:	Dream A series or A+ engine build.....
I was having a little think last night and came up with this little(but rather expensive engine dream build) Ok..... here goes..... Obviously 1275 rebored to 1360 Then stroked to somewhere near 1412-1430 i'm guessing 8 port head Probably need somewhere near 13 dished pistons Sporty cam(RE13) then to top it off(if possibly as can imagine space might be tight) turbo'd The only bit i was thinking may cause issues is the turbo, but then again with not having the carb setup direct on the head.... Just maybe!! and it might fit in a round nose! But hey need some MAJOR lottery numbers for it to happen! LOL

you're not thinking big enough my dream a series would go something like this... - twin OHC KAD 8 port with race cams - 1275 bored out .114" (1380 with standard stroke) with 86mm stroker crank - 1460cc - some of those "super you bute" custom made steel billet (I think) con-rods - injection and distributor-less ignition (use some fancy ecu to control everything) drop that all onto a KAD 5 speed box (apparently much stronger than other 5 speed boxes - 5th is still 1:1) running a LSD with some of those fancy minispares big competition drive shafts and big CV kits then hope like hell I didn't break it I'm sure there'd be much more if I could actually afford to go and build it so if anyone's got a spare 50k they'd be willing to part with nope... oh well... stocky 998 here I come

You would have to move the injectors way back up into the plenum, might as well run a carb.

Do you reckon you could run a turbo with an 8 port head? or would the piping be a bit too extreme and render it PANTS! lol

Len Read from Vic use to run a turbo on an 8 port back in the late eighties. He won the Doug Byrne memorial race in it in 1989. It was regularly used in the super mini series. There was a feature on this car in one of the early mini magic? mags.
