I have just run in my originally a Berg 1776 engine. The engine is a 1776 Berg long block kit put together by a builder in Seattle. However, when the finished long block was assembled with the rest of stuff such as fan shroud, tinware, dizzy, carby,..., etc, he did not put the air deflector in and the entire engine was cooked and the head at cylinder 3 was melted. I then ordered another pair stock 040 heads (using the rocker set from the Berg kit) and another set of 90.5 piston/cylinder set and get another someone else to put the engine back together. It uses a
34PICT3 with the main jet enlarged to 130 and a stock vacuum advanced dizzy. Everything works fine but it feels more like a stock 1600. Is there anything I could do to make it a bit higher performance by doing something like larger valves heads, etc while keep the stock look such as the 34PICT3? Or do I really need to put in a set of dual carb? All opinions are welcome. Regards, Jeremy- posted
