Man, that's awesome! I like the blue. Congratulations on a great job restoring it.

Yep-you have some decisions to make. a .30 over L28-even with dished pistons will be high CR. IMHO, with no quench in dished pistons, it might not be the best option. Might need to much timing pulled. I think flat top L28 .030 over would put you around 11 to 1 , not sure what dished pistons would be. L24 will be fun and I run full timing with that set-up. Maybe not as torquey as the l28, but I got 155RWHP with SU's. Like said-you will need to modify the block for bigger valves, but you can do that yourself.

Nice build! Hayashi also made race bike parts. They made nice exhaust systems for them. Are you going to stroke the engine, as per the designation on the Kakimoto cover? I believe the reason people bought those was for the 3100cc designation and simplification of wire routing, etc. I love the emphasis on vintage aftermarket parts going into the build. It makes a notable difference on any car's heritage and a lot of people toss the idea out the window, outside of typical US built classic cars, and even then, it is becoming rare. Nice to see some thought going into it!
