My criteria for weather and engine is worth working. In no
particular order
1. Are parts cheap?
2. Does the engine have a stong enough 'base' to be worked upon
3. Is there another engine that would better it stock, that is a
'bolt in' or close to it?
I think 3t would satisfy all the above. You have a 4ag's but
then there not entirely bolt in..
Engines are just pistons in a block. Weather you've got
good head design, turbo's, OHC, or pushrods, it really doesn't change the guts of the engine, just being crank, rods, pistons and block.
Pushrods - they open vales.. OHC -- opens valves... not much dif.
turbo? -- can be made to fit any engine
head design -- port it!
I can't see why a 4ag is better than a 3t?
Better head design? Port the 3t head...
Pushrods Vs OHC? pfff.. either way the valve opens.
what does it come down to? How high can i rev this thing before it goes pop? ---> bottom end & breathing...
Just like all '70's shit, built to last
