Hi AllToday I researched at the library into four cylinder engines. I discoveredthat the Chevy II engine 153 cu. in. had 152 ft. lb. torque @ 2400 rpm.and90 h.p. @4000 rpm. This looks better than the 151 cu.in. which has 132 ft.lb. @ 3250 and 123 h.p. @ 5250. But upon asking at the junkyard they saidthose are hard to find because they made so few and they were snapped up forboat engines,and or midget race cars. Does anyone have experience withthese? Oh,the exaust and intake are on the same side so the carb heat shouldbe easy. Also the crankshaft thrust bearing is at no.5 bearing,next to theprop. I'm thinking they would be worth tracking down. Any thoughts?Thanks Steve Yahn________________________________________________________________________________
