I realize there is another thread, but I wanted to discuss building a N/A 818, with no plans to turbo later, without hi-jacking his thread.
To keep this post short and to the point, I plan to do a full tear down and rebuild of the engine and transmission. While 200 whp would be nice it's not a neccesity. I am more concerned about building a durable and smooth running drive train.
I have been reading about transmission breakage I high HP engines. Is this still a big factor if running 200 whp or less?
Other then that I guess my basic question is what kind of parts and upgrades should I look into?
