Just some advice on buying a motor advertising a certain Dyno'd H.P., if you want true horse power as Dyno'd, you have to buy the motor complete as Dyno'd, including the intake and carb. Many of these engine builders have very tricked out intakes and carbs that they Dyno'd these motors with. When they send you the motor, without an intake or carb, with Dyno'd sheets, you'll never get that Dyno'd h.p. Out of it with a store bought carb and intake. Been there, done it.
