So jake can 200 hp in a type 4 be at all reliable as a daily driver ? If you can afford to build it properly. Today my engines start at 200HP, and all are developed for the street. Its all in the combo, and how you make that 200HP, is more important than the dyno graph in regard to drivability, reliability, and longevity. 200 HP is no longer a benchmark for power from these engines; development has changed everything. |

How much $$ would be the minimum amount required to break into the 200hp Type IV club? $2K? $5K?....$8K+? |

Or more. $8k maybe if you are at my skills level, ie can replace seats and port heads, build the engine, header, etc... I also bought my nickies at group buy prices... For an idea price HAM the top level heads, nickies, stroker crank, rods, header, carbs WEB cam and internals. |
