Hello,
Reading the various postings, I have the impression that there is not much difference between restoring a 948 or a 1275 engine when it comes to cost. Is this an accurate statement? I have toyed with the idea of putting in a 1275. I have a few questions. What modifications are needed to switch from a 948 to a 1275, and how complicated is this to do? I have noticed on the forum that everyone with the 1275 engines has converted to disc brakes - is this a requrement, and why? Any downside to installing a 1275? All comments are appreciated.
