Sounds like a good motor, or it will be when you finish the little
things.   Could you give a dollar figure on what you've got into it now?

   I've always heard about re-building WBX motors and improving them in the
process, but nobody seems to put in the cost...other than some of the semi
crate motors I've heard about from Tencentlife and Boston Bob (RIP)
Building motors is quite rewarding, even when you are the guy who's just
deciding how much to spend and writing the checks when parts are
needed...It's fun to see what you have when it goes back in or goes to the
Dyno for a test....

  Hey, how about a dyno thread?   Has anyone ever taken their WBX, Subaru,
Bostig, Tiico, Porsche, or Small block Vanagon and run it on a chassis
dyno?  Post the figures..
