I understand, sometimes 1200 screaming CCs can induce whiplash when those stomping ponies get to galloping. Maybe you are looking for more fuel economy and the Behemoth A12 just drinks too much. It's all the rage to pump them up from this

But what is a conscientious dude to do when the in-crowd is going for more power? Easy, CUT THE SUM b**** IN HALF!

Wow that was cool. And pointless, but whatever. There's gotta be something you can use that to power, either for just fun or some actual use...

<-- Completely and utterly confused.

On a side note, Mike, I'm going to be building an E-1 up in the near future... anything over in JDM-land for those?

Nope. E-1. It's a 1200. Used in the early 60's 320's and 312's. 60-hp 1189cc.

Dave, the one you posted is an L16 (visually identical to an L18 / L20 / L20b).
