Thanks for the help. Any suggestions on sourcing the 1300 pistons? I have read that you need do machine out the top of the pistons to clear valves! thoughts/ experiences!

Hi all, Im at a point in my project where i need to sort my donk out. Have a 1600GT kent engine, not looking to change to anything else would like to keep it alittle original and simple. I do have some dellorto 40's to fit but looking for info on past experience with pistons etc... Thoughts on running 1300 pistons for uping compression or oversizing to 1700, cam choice for fast road and most importantly valve sizing when i get the head done. i'm not looking for ultimate race spec max power, just noticeable difference and nice weekend drive for a resonable $ Any comments appreciated.

Hi All, Have searched with out luck for help on this. Wanting to fit Dellorto 40's side draughts on a 1600 Capri (Kent engine) but looks like brake booster going to be in the way. Not really wanting to change brake setup yet, just trying to drop stronger engine in. Is this a problem on Escorts too? Any idea where to get appropriate manifold to sort this out? Thanks
