I met Ken Morgan yesterday, and I have to say I was extremely impressed
by his knowledge, shop, personality, diction, etc.
He's a damn cool guy.
Anyway, we got to talking about this engine he developed- he has custom
higher compression pistons & sleeves made, changes the cams and
computer, new heads, planks the beams, and balances the snot out of
everything. The engine ends up at 2.2L, 115HP, 123Ft./Lbs. There's more
details to it, but why not just call him directly?

I don't have any vested interest in his business- I was just very
impressed. He let me handle a piston/sleeve for a while, and they appear
to be extremely high quality, as well as being pure mechanical porn. He
also took time out of his day just to geek out on Vanagons generally...
who needs the archives; just talk to Ken!
