        Hello all, 

        i tried this once but got no response.  Since I've been having 
trouble with my server lately I thought I's try again to be sure it got 
through.

        I am in the midst of an engine rebuild and would like to hear 
from anyone that has done the 2 liter rebuild.  Pros, cons, etc.  Also 
what sort of power does this rebuild make with a mild street cam?  I have 
heard 140 h.p., could this be true?  Any idea what the compression ratio 
is for a 2 liter kit?  

        Also, I was looking at a cylinder head off a 69 B that I no 
longer have and saw that there are two valve springs on each valve.  One 
little one inside the bigger one.  Is this typical?  I don't remember 
what my other B's have had and thought this looked unusual.  Does it have 
something to do with the cam change in 1972?

        Finally, has anyone dealt with Brit-Tek?  They have very 
reasonable prices on rebuild kits, including a performance cam of your 
choice.  Interior kits are also much less than Moss or V.B.  Finally, 
they claim to honor a 100 percent satisfaction guarantee.
