I agree with you completely on the A vs L debate. I did the NAPS engine for two reasons. One I had a NAPS engine and two I was younger, more motivated and dumber then. I'm going to stay with
A-12 and A-14 engines for the rest of my 1200 projects. Which isn't to say that I have that many projects but; oh you know what I mean. I hadn't thought about the aluminum (aluminium for
those of you on other continents) Rover engine. How tough are they to find? No, don't tell me or I would try it. How would the weight compare to an L/Z series? No, don't tell me that either
or I'll really want to do it. Hmmm, I need to make some phone calls. Tim
