I look forward to your thoughts. Thanks everyone.
When you wrote that you decided AC for $$$, I was confused. I am under the impression that a Subaru engine producing the same horsepower as a CB aircooled engine will be much less expensive, and the Subaru will be more dependable and probably cost much less in maintenance.
Thanks everyone for your thoughts. Todd- the AC motor set up I’m planning is about $8,000 compared to about $12,000 to go with the water cooled after it’s all said and done. It’s been a long debate in my mind - AC vs WC. In the end I like the AC idea bcs it’s close to the original. Plus saving some money helps.
