Looked around a little more for parts....

Well, I found suppliers with better reputations. And I figured if I'm going to need to have this case line bored, then might want to have it stepped up a bit.

Through some thorough reading on thesamba.com I've found that whenever someone asked what they should build with, the instant reply was a 1778cc. This is due to the little extra punch that it has over the stock 1584cc. So I've been looking around at kits.

I've just got to do more studying about which cam I want. I also need to get the motor more apart to figure out if the case needs line bored, or if it can be even.
