guys, if i wanted to build a 1641 what base engine would i need to start with?

or are all engines up to that size just based on barrel/piston size?

and 1776 is where it really does start gettin expensive? diff heads/ case bored out for pistons aswell or something?

any decent web pages to look at?

saaaafe

or reading up now...

is it better to start with a stock 1600 and build a 1776?

i know someone who can bore out the heads and crankcase.

now im just confused, is it better to do the crank aswell if your going as far as 1776? decisions decisions!

and whats all this 'stroke length' shizzle, does that depend on the base engine?

i was thinking more like 1500 lol

maybe il get a box sorted for now and just wait for something cheaper to come up, even if its just a 1600 or 1641 on carbs.
