Hey Kenny and Mike, You should really listen to Jakes radio show. Especially the one last week. It talks about bigger motors and heat. They are NOT related, in fact it's the opposite. A bigger motor takes less effort to put out the same amount of work. It's easy enough to log on and get acsess to listen.

Also, everyone here has said, if you want to reduce the heat in the motor, CHANGE THE CAM.

It cost's very little to split the bottom end, put in new bearings and a cam, cheap insuranse.

Just my .02c

thanks for info on radio show, i quickly checked jakes show and saved it last night. yes i plan to do cam, i need to call jake raby's mon. for direction on what to get. i'm only able to do the case split with outside help. several have offered to help. do you think you could be part of the build effort, i know you've got a brain full of valuable knowlege. we plan on getting all the nice new shiny parts together (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif) , tear down and clean parts before. we'll thow something on the bbq (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chowtime.gif)

I'd like to help if time permits . I am in the middle of a rebuild myself. I finally found some high compression pistons (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) that look like they will work. Most everything is powder coated (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) .but the car is not ready yet, it's a long process but I want it right this time so I am taking my time (IMG:style_emoticons/default/thumb3d.gif)

If things work out I will pitch in.
