Some years ago Terry Burtz said that he was going to design his new engine to put out at least 100 HP at a significantly higher RPM than the usual 2200. He will be doing this with as counterweighted crank, carburation and perhaps other things. Tod is putting out a 5 main block with a counterweighted crank. With some carbs and other touches this engine should be good for more RPM's and HP. It looks like we need to put in an OHV assembly to get all of the value out of the new blocks that will be available soon. I am starting to put a few dollars away soon.
