That is not the best way to approach building a vehicle.

It needs to be as strong or stronger than original. Do you weld for a living (or did you @ one time and/or were certified)? I'm not saying it can't be done w/a 110 machine..... I would just make sure everything is perfect & that my design approach was overkill to start with.

I'm curious to see how the pro's will weigh in on using the 110 to get it done.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
