Anyone got any good places to start reading about what bits to use?

I've got a mini box>>>>Kent engine conversion and I'd like to play with it as I have to build it from scratch.

I've done allsorts off stuff to a mini engine. However, it is a totally different ballgame.

I'm wondering what the limits of the standard crank are and how much you can lighten those heavy pistons by. How much you can trim off the block. I'm looking at lightening the internals a bit and then making the best of it with the right camshaft.

I have a 1600GT big valve head in the garage which is nice

Vizards book is pretty much a dissection of everything that has been done to an a series, the theory is there and you make your own choices. the kent is a different animal.

Hmmm
