I also vote for leaving the Omni 8v (as if you were actually taking anyone's opinion!) and try 16v on something else. I have a 16v car (Go Evil Spurt!) but my Shelby Lancer will be a nice 8 valve. I'm looking forward to getting to work on it.

that's what 2.2's are for....Originally Posted by Pat
Because you don't need to add a ton more torque down low to get more hp up top.

To add yet another opinion where none was asked for, I would hate to work on a cross flow head in an omni with custom (read efficient) manifolds.
No replacement for displacement!!! Right??

Agreed...now just add 8 more valves and you'll be onto something!
Don't get me wrong, I like Reeve's Omni as an 8v. I'd defintiely keep it 8v if it were my car. To start a project over though....16v all the way.
I'm all for originality, in the sense of keeping things original. Unless you get a car where the motor's toast, or the whole car needs to basically be rebuilt anyway, why not go crazy
16V Mini!!
Send Menegon a chunk of aluminum and a new die grinder. See what happens.
Thanks again to Ken & Patty for the hospitality.
We're having a chili cook-off next week at work. I know the secret ingredient is Fritos, but what's the rest of the recipe?
Cordes, the sheer number of antecdotes was amazing, let alone the quality.
The children are our future. Keep molding their minds and crushing their spirits.
P.S.
Rollus Pollus
Caroll Shelby Chili mix!!!
Man, my co-worker was in tears when I told her the story about rollus pollus and I didn't even put as much detail into it. I'm worried as to what you'll tell or WON'T tell the next time, as you told SO MANY good stories I'm afraid you won't have any more! lol

Thanks guys. If you make it to SDAC 18, or perhaps spring fling (depending on if I won't have track obligations) I will lay my good ones out there. Clay got one of the better ones in my "border crossing" story, but I assure you that you got the very tip of the iceberg.
