Yeah, counterweighted crank... i know there is some
debate on whether this is necessary.  I figure that it
can only do good, and it doesn't cost that much more
since it is already getting stroked out.

Stock rods with 1.9 hardware (per archival list
suggestion).  I have shared other list members
concerns that these may be too short, but again, real
world applications have shown these to be fine in
practice at much higher outputs than i'll be running.

The pistons are going to be shaved down a bit to keep
compression ratio right (taking about .140" off the
top).  They are getting the total seal rings.

Can't remember the specific grind on the cam, but it
is just a little hotter off stock.

Going to keep 2.1 intake, but run 1.9 cooling and FI
systems (going in my '84 westy).  New hoses all the
way around, etc.

Gonna balance it after i get it put together...
hopefully it'll purr at idle and have a little bit of
a roar when necessary.

That's most of what's going into it.
