3.2 engine done now...
Hi All,
Well, after a long time my engine is finally done. From doing the work myself using a cylinder head butchered by a couple of "z experts" to building the block myself and using the Rusch Motorsports head I had built (see thread below), I decided to bite the bullet and get the engine built properly using the Rusch cylinder head.

I know a couple of people asked about my build, to which I appologize for not telling them, but I wanted to get it built, back to me and have some numbers to give, rather than figures picked out of the air.
Lets get this straight first, this is a race spec engine that is built for the road, not an engine thats all peeky and unusable......
So, after giving them cylinder head (which they tweeked ever so slightly to get the required inlet/outlet flow figures), LD28 crank, 48mm Dellortos, inlet manifold and a few bits and pieces......a few long chats about requirements, expectations, payment and logistics, last week I got my built engine back.
I have yet to get the engine full dyno figures back, but peak bhp is 309.7 @6400rpm and peak torque is 283.3lbs @5000rpm.
They rejetted my Dellortos carbs and set them up, so no fiddling on a rolling road to get them set up. The engine is fully guaranteed, unless I break it from a lack of oil or water.
And the engine builder...Rebello Racing in California, USA.
