I guess I don't understand then....

His 68 has the same leverage as a 73-87. A Cummins in that C-series geometric leverage configuration is heavier than a BBC in a C-series leverage configuration. Ride Tech recommends/sells the F7325/26c's, 8.5" dia/3400lb & the equivalent of an RE-8 for the 73-89 C30's.

It would seem to me, if the weight is ~400lbs more vs the BBC w/the same applied leverage, he'd want @ least the F7325/26c's/RE-8's.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
