fixed that for ya.

For a hot street engine, that's a good combo for the L18. Get some L16 or L24 rods (they're longer which improves rod-stroke ratio and bumps the Compression Ratio way up), mill the pistons down a bit to get the deck height and CR where you want it, a pair of 40s and a 76 cam is a great street engine. Give the head a bit of a tickle if budget allows. That combo gave me 116bhp at the wheels and was very torquey. Good street/track motor.

You don't need to worry about the strength of the L18 crank!
