Pretty much everything I've read so far and advice given has pointed towards either an f4r-t variation or the f7p. I'm now leaving towards the f7p due to advice ive recieved for max potential.
Looking on line I cant seem to find any used f7p engines for sale but plenty f4r variations so I may have to settle for an f4r. Also there seems to be ALOT of variations, ie 770 774 776 830 etc, with no full explanatory info on the spec differences.
Also, thinking that I may just buy the engine in parts rather than a complete Lump. Buying an f4r block, then searching for a cylinder head to fit, none of the heads coming up are identified by those 770 774 776 etc numbers. So im abit confused atm as to which numbers relate to which heads, what the differences of each are and which is going to be best for max potential torque and power.
Are there any books or websites with detailed info on these? (So I dont need to keep asking simple newbie questions) So far sadly Wikipedia has the most detailed info.
Thanks for any help and advice
Nb: I qualified as a mechanic when I left school well over a decade (or 2) ago, so I can fix mechanical, weld, paint etc, but engine building converting tuning etc is going to be a learning curve for me which I hopefully 'overall' will enjoy.
