Had some pics off the Piazza as a convertible. The design off the car is just so right for it, it's a shame the never made a production model. Would be impossible to get one street legal here in Norway, and building a trackday car as a rag top just don't make sence. Maybe somebody in a country where...

What Impulsive Yank is talking about is an 2,6 block with a 2,3 crank and custom rods to match (pistons to would be natural), to make a high RPM screamer with high stroke to rod lenght ratio. Any body know if the 2,3L crank is fullbalanced? (two cunterwheights for ewery bore) The 2.6 is, while the 2...

Nah, keep the extra voulume. If you go for original style pistons and use pin buttons on the pistons, you should get to just under 160mm rods. 159mm rods would give you 1.67 rod ratio, while not close to 1.8 ratio for a screamer, it would be better for a high rewing supercharged engine.

Actual I used supercharged here to indicate any engine beeing force feed (turbo, blower or nitrous) But yes, the neverending project has seen even more feature creep, and I've desided to go with an Autorotor screwcompressor (OA424 or OA426) Total price is about the same as turbo charger + nitrous, a...
