also with the 107 you are able to reuse your cylinders, vs larger and you will be adding the cost of new cylinders to your build.

 

Check out Donny Peterson's vol 2 about 110 cilinders. Desigh problems, that might or may not have been solved by now. I don't know. Has to do with the very top of the cilender and liner mating areas, below the top, for about 1/2 inch down.
I would use Axtell cilenders. And have on my 107. Very robust cilender design.

 

absoluty......
Axtell is a great company to do business with...

 

Thre is no point going bigger without at least mild porting ,mild cam ,good exhaust and air filter. If you get all this and a good tune chances are you may be very happy with that TINY 96 CID MOTOR.

 

Good point. I'm planning on doing my build in stages with a possible ultimate goal of ending up with a 107. After the obligatory exhaust, intake and good programmer, I'm going to do heads and cams and see what it ends up at. The added cost of going to the 107 for the HP and Torque gained will have to be evaluated at that point.

 

Dutch start collecting the pieces in stages.
the first thing i would do is get a spare set of cylinders annd send them out to be bored.
hillside does it and get them bored to accept the bigger pistons that will be needed for a 107.
get that done put them on the shelf for later.
find a cam ya want.
send the intake and t/b to get worked on.
get a pipe
then send the heads out when ya get some more money.

doing it in stages makes sense also the cost is spread out over time. but do it smartly.

have a power goal in mind also
proper planning will cut down on mistakes when putting it back together.
Good luck.
