I agree that there are better engines out there but the nostalgia is sooooo important, the cam cover is everything!

When I spoke to Mark Shead about strokers he felt that the sweet spot was 2.2ish and just worked best on the engine. With modern mapping, good fuels and a good twin scroll turbo on anything 2.2 to 2.4 I think it will exceed all expectations. The torque and mid range and response of the turbo would be great.
