- Build the engine around the cam; choose where you want the power to come on (1-4,000RPM, 3-6,000, ect.) This will make the engine behave to your liking and can also add a little or a lot of kick. As

- The rear seal kit is a must for a leak free engine. Also when ordering a gasket set make sure you get the timing cover crank seal as well because it is not included in the set. Don't ask how I found

- Go with a BJ8 cam or Road Rally cam. Don't go with anything hotter than that. Put in pertronix electronic ignition on the old lucas distributor. Put on a rear engine seal. It is easier to put on if

- The four cylinder engines in standard form do not have what can be called "front seal". The timing cover has a groove which holds a felt ring that does not live up to that description. If you want to
