Update:

Soon to be prepared for another respray, last one was 1997. Theres a possibility of a Suzuki 600cc engine too, although my Brother said he was keen to stick with the A series, which means he could stick with the blueprinted 1293cc or go for the 1360cc that replaced it.

1293 will be more reliable, anything above 1300cc starts to get a bit tempremental.

Turbo the 1293

If you do a bike engine, it should be as large as the A series.
