      new 1.6L V4 based on Chevrolet LS7-R V8

      KMV4: A Mini-Small Block For Motorcycles

      Found this and was immediately intrigues especially after reading the output numbers, which are on par with a 2011 1.6L Ti-VCT DOHC 16 valve Ford Fiesta. This is what I'd swap into a Honda just to piss off Honda-humpers.


      - 1995 Chevrolet Monte Carlo Z34 - LQ1 3.4L DOHC 24 valve semi-hemi V6, 210 HP, 215 ft-lbs of torque, 4T60e 4 speed automatic with O/D.... 123,000+ miles. Slowly resto-modding it.
      - looking for a first gen Aveo for a daily driver :D

      Bore that V4 up to 2.0L, and put in a more aggressive cam, and not only will it shame Honda Vtec HP numbers, it'll blow them away with sheer unadulterated torque. add on a roots type supercharger and it's jizz in a tiny package. If you want more after that, you have Cosworth make a set of DOHC 16 valve heads for it (don't give me that pushrod block can't use DOHC heads bull. My LQ1 has a pushrod block and dohc heads)
