[QUOTE="passenger0_0, post: 15347, member: 208"] Not really relevant to Shaun's exciting find but it's a bit reckless saying 80 hp is easy as it only serves to create/perpetuate a myth. How many people can say hand on heart that they've dynoed their engines at this figure? It can be achieved if you don't use a standard crank pin, run on methanol, re-work combustion chambers, fit long duration cams, rev the nuts of it etc...... As Father Ted used to day to Dougal "Real world....imaginary world". To My advice to Shaun is to do his research before jumping to any decisions as a tuned motor is a peaky motor and you lose the essence of what makes a Vincent so attractive, its broard spread of torque. Cheers David [/QUOTE]
