Way more. 

A stock R90s with those 38mm Dell' Orto "pumper" carbs puts out 67bhp. 

Two would be ~134bhp out of 1800cc....not too shabby.

I was being conservative and accounting for more drag of 2 more cylinders and a bigger transmission. 

 

If you used the later r100 motor you would get a 2.0l.

I installed a smaller universal LED light that could be mounted on the rear shelf with a couple of brass “L” brackets that clip under the wood board. Cost was about $10.

I'm just glad to hear about the horse.

I ran the big version of that for many years. OK light, but not the greatest. The LED's were wearing out on it.

 I love this random stuff when you ready the Chinese eBay ads! LOL!

   I saw a flexible 48" tailgate light bar strip on the CARiD website a while back. I couldn't find info on how bright they would be in the daytime, lumens wise. Maybe someone has seen this and can comment on whether it could be modified/shortened to make it usable in our back windscreens? They look good on the back of a pick'em up truck, though.

They're fairly bright. I don't have a picture of it during the day yet (been snowy), but it is impressive! Mind you, almost nothing will be perfect in blinding sun. Something about 12v versus big flaming ball o' fire!

Thanks! I just ordered one too. I like your window sticker (I taught at Central for a quarter; mostly I remember the wind).

Happy to help! Hopefully it goes in as nicely as mine! Central was a fun time, lots of wind for sure!
