    New 1600 stroker build

    The engine that came out of my X was sourced by the prior owner, a 1500 Lancia Prisma NOS shortblock he had installed in the car. I've torn it down to just the block, crank and pistons, all other peripherals are off. Internals look very good, consistent with low mileage and frequent oil...

    What do I need to know about installing a more aggressive cam?

    So I'm in the middle of an engine rebuild, and I figured now would be the best time to replace the stock cam with something more aggressive (motor is a stock 1.5 FI). Ultimately I settled on the 223 Degree Duration Regrind Street Cam available at MWB. I'm not looking for massive gains in the...
