300 degree cam and double springs, etc. Bottom-end on my car seems fine. Will I have to get it machined? Do I need new bearings in the bottom end? I am definitly going to go with TWM EFI set-up and am going to try direct fire distributorless ignition. I'm assuming new bearings will be in order for the bottom end. I guess that will mean pulling the whole engine? If so, should I go ahead and get everything balanced? Any suggestions appreciated.

you should give the whole engine and tranny to your builder for consistency and balance issues. sounds like you are creating a cool set -up with power. I would have one shop do the whole thing. Piece-meal top end/bottom end. flywheel, from different builders may result in incompatability issues and al will point at the other guy for the problem( i know about this first hand). east coast has several great shops. Central usa i hear has good shops. West coast has lots of great shops. Car can be shipped anywhere.probably as chealpy as shipping a drive train/engine and then having to swap what you receive. That is my advice, however useless it probably is, to end up with a great final result.

your bottom end. It's likely your new head will

quickly send your bottom end over the edge

(granted they were both rebuilt/original a while

ago). I used a place a while ago that I was happy

w/, I think it was Eagle automotive.

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
