Sure, what do you want to know? I can take pics of anything you want. The engine is one I built a few years ago, 1776cc with an Engle W110 - counterweighed 69mm crank and dual Dellorto 40's (the standard choice for guaranteed smooth operation. )
Nothing special, but built right without any shortcuts or used parts. The rods are an exception, they are carefully selected stock rods, a good set of same weight series picked out from a huge pile of magnafluxed rods. You'd be surprised to know how many stock rods have hairline cracks in them that the eye can't see.
Everything was weight-matched to 1g and balanced carefully.
Total cost was somewhere near 3000eur, not including my labor. So I may have exaggerated a little with "expensive" but it was to separate the "cheapies" from the good ones.. lol
