Which of these would be better going into a 1915 with
cnc magnaflo heads 42x37
daul weber 44's
1 1/2" thunderbird exhaust

car will be used for daily driving

Thanks for the help

Hello, I have a 1915 with 40x35.5 valves, a pair of 40mm dellortos, and a vz-25 cam and I drive this engine every day about 40-60 miles, has plenty of power and i have had no problems or anything that I didn't like. the driveability of this engine is the same as a 1600, until you put your foot into it. >:-)
This is only from my experiance but so far the vz-25 seems like a good cam for my engine. Hope this helps a bit.

Your exhaust is too small. You are losing about 6-7hp there.

The vz will produce about 6 more hp according to DTD then the 120.

The 120 is easier on the valve train however.

The best bet is too invest in ratio rockers and run the K-8.

Dawireman, if you decide to go with the engle 120 ihave one for sale. Would hate to see it go to waste, apparently my rebuilder wasnt to keen on me putting it in my stock 1600 so it is just sitting here. Let me know if you want it. It's brand new! Never used! Talk to you soon.

I ended up with the engle 120 w/straight cut gears.
