If you run on Jet A you need to add a little motor oil to the tank I'm told... the Jet A is too thin and will not provide enough "lubrication" to the fuel system...
on the other hand home heating oil is another alternative... just don't get caught with it in your tank by the inspectors...

Don't get caught with any non-highway fuel in your tank. Ag diesel, kerosene, Jet A, fuel oil, etc.

On the other hand I've never heard of a non-commercial vehicle getting pulled in for a tank content check unless they where leaving a black [or other colour] smoke sausage along the road... they might catch it at a roadside safety blitz but very doubtful...

That's an outrageous increase in torque for the minimal gain in horsepower. Can you please share what mods you did to achieve that??

The equation you're using is only good for one RPM, so it will only give you the torque at the MAX HP RPM, or it will give you the HP at the MAX TORQUE RPM, but will not give you the MAX TORQUE if you plug in MAX HP, and vice versa. MAX TORQUE and HP are achieved at different RPM's. It isn't clear the way he stated it. If he makes 120hp at 2100 RPM, then he'd make 300 TORQ at 2100 RPM, but would still make his MAX torque at a different RPM.

I have never heard of the engine block being part of the trans. How would you service the clutch? Take the trans apart? Sounds like something a car company would do though.
I index drilled the flywheel today and bored out the center to 43mm. I have not tried it on yet but will when I get home. This weekend I plan to bolt the 1.6 block to the trans in the truck and see how it looks. Start making the engine mounts from there. With the trans sitting in the truck it looks like it sits off to the passenger side of the truck a bit? I will take some measurements but it looks that way. I am going to try and use the stock mounts on the frame if I can but the block is a lot shorter so I will see how it goes.
