Maybe. Maybe not.
It all depends on how R Thorpe is going to use said power.
I'm a big fan of 94 Mahle cylinders. Also 78 or 82 cranks, so that would be a 2165 or a 2276.
Shorter cranks like to rev, more stroke=more torque or less rev.
I wish the whole "overheating" babble would go away. It came from the old thin-wall 92s and guys refusing to full-flow and add an external cooler to remove the heat. Like what, 1980s? That was almost 40 years ago, folks.
94 cylinders are fine. They'll just wear out and get a little out-of-round in 40-50,000 miles. At the rate most guys drive their Speedsters, it will be needing a rebuild long after they're dead. Especially if their car still isn't built yet......
The one thing to ABSOLUTELY do is to get the rotating parts dynamically balanced as a unit. It makes for a smoother and longer-lasting, cooler-running motor. Flywheel, pressure-plate, crank, pulley all together. Rods balanced end-for-end. Pistons balanced within a gram. Totally worth the money to do this, folks.
