I'm beginning to evaluate this:

[DrEntropy]

The "standard" 105E adapted to the Elan can get up to 45 MPG.... I have multiple blocks here, and enuff bits to build three engines. My latest brane flatulence is to assemble a rock-stock twin-cam for the beast, put the whole thing back into th' same trim it was when it left Hethel.

Sounds like a plan! Looking at what Elan's are selling for I can't imagine going back to stock is any sort of financial risk.

Doc

I see a bug flying wirely into the driveway during mis of tis.

The "standard" 105E adapted to the Elan can get up to 45 MPG....

I've generally found that my engines are more capable of higher MPGs than my driving is....

 

[DrEntropy]

Ain't THAT th' truth!

I've suddenly taken to seeing a dollar sign on the Alfa tach at four grand. It has made an amazing difference. :smirk:

Doc, I agree with the masses. You have nothing to lose by going box-stock with the Elan.

 

[DrEntropy]

I may get to a point where there's a "spare" engine, assembled with a more radical setup, in reserve...

We'll see.
