Actually I think the best way to make a cheap good E-motor is
with a slightly destroked 260 Ford Flarlane motor, use the stock crank 2
13/16 I think and some of those good heads that are available now. Ragsdals
E motor is 305 based, no overbore at all, you must use small valve heads
and even then notch the bores. Actruallyif I ever build an E motor it will
be with a Studebaker motor, very strong block, but I'm weird. Kvach
