[AT] Continental Engine Boring

[Easley, Greg]

I believe changing to the 162 block will also change to you an
external governor.  A guy in our club put a 162 in his MH101jr.
He had to hack a big chunk out of the belly frame to clear the
governor assembly.  You wouldn't have to do any frame hacking
to fit that block in the VC, but it might raise a few eyebrows
if you pull in the semi-stock type classes.  For sure it wouldn't
be NATPA Div2 legal.  Would be real tough to get it into the 2500,
and the 162 won't have anywhere near enough for the 3500 indoors.

    Greg and George;
    Looks like I will be the test pilot on this project. Haven't been
able to contact anyone who has done this project. Even Jerry from Montes
engine parts didn't know it it is possible.
    I do know the 124 and 162 share the same block, just don't know if
they are the same casting specs.
    If this doesn't work out, I have a bare 162 block sitting in the
barn, but am hoping to use the original block.

    The warming weather seems to have the blood flowing and now am
finally working on some too long dormant projects.

                    Gene
