A little slow on the uptake here, but that ought to be interesting. A friend of mine who has been a jippo logger all his life and is in his 60's now, gave me a little info on the Detroit 2-strokes. He said that the inlines had a much stronger bottom end. The V-6 for instance used the crank from an I-3 with half as much rod bearing area per cylinder. In his opinion the 6-71 inline was one of the best of the Detroits. However, (and you probably already know this) he did mention that getting the injectors in sync is the hardest part of getting the most out of a Detroit. (each injector acts as its own injection pump) Tuning those motors tends to be kinda like tuning a 6-carb setup in this case.

Good luck and let us know how she runs!!
