@GreasySideUp If in fact your car was a Kirk built Vintage Speedster there is a good chance that it is a 1915cc motor. I looked back at all of your original photos and I noticed there was a hole cut out in the firewall. That was done when VS sold a car with a 1915 engine. But one never knows what's in these things after enough years pass by. The VS built 1915 though wasn't a really powerful motor by today's standards so the new motor you bought will probably be a lot better in the long run.

Finding and cleaning those jets was the real game changer and a complete overhaul/rebuild of the carburetors will also be a nice improvement.
