1914 specs

I am planning to build a spyder and need to find: 1. a competent local or not builder and 2. a list of stuff needed to build a ?120hp engine. It would be nice if it were reliable and not too hard on the budget. Electronic ignition and fuel injection would be nice if I don't have to be the guinea pig.

Tim.... A Pat Downs (C.B. Perf.) 1915 with single spring heads gives a very reliable 120HP and 125 lbs torque, if equiped with Weber 44 IDF's.

Fuel injection can add 50 to 60 percent to the cost, but their new (?) sustem appears to be great...

I run mine cross country any time using the stock dog house cooler only... With the carbs dialed in, on flat ground, and easing accelerator, I've attained 32+ mpg....

Hope this helps....

Tim, where do you live??? That will help finding a competent builder or,, are you looking for a manufacturer??

Oh yea that might be helpful. I live 80 klics SW of Madison WI. I'm looking for a no fuss engine and gb as the chassis is going to be challenge enough.
Thx

Tim, I live up in Hartford, WI. Any help i can give you i will. I'm running a watercooled audi/vw engine so probably not much help there. However, anything else on the car you need help on let me know.
