That'll learn me to formulate (and send) arguments at five ayem.... 3A and ABA both have the same bore and stroke rendering my premise mistaken. The word on the street (VW Vortex) is that the ABA has 16 mm longer connecting rods. However, I've learned my lesson. I ain't saying nothing until I measure them. I selected the ABA because it was available. 3As are not in Eastern Orygun. I figure if I have my selection of half a dozen ABAs in a small town here, they should be reasonably findable in Kansas or Wyoming.
