what engine would YOU use

That decreases the reciprocating mass so you can run higher rpms.

Solid logic.

Actually with zero compression on one cylinder the rest of them should have an eaiser time adding atleast 20hp

Wait... Are you telling me that Instead of paying 2700 bucks for a race head for my (superior) 2.3 I coulda just smashed 3 of its pistons and made out about the same?

Your house is getting TP'd if I ever find out where you live, it's not very nice to withhold secrets from your fellow forum members..

..or is it just that your suuuuuper jealous about my truck having the best motor ever made? Seems like jealousy to me personally..

I've always loved the sound of a bush plane at idle...
Maybe that would be the engine I use.
I might keep the propeller.

Yes.

Just pull the head run a 3\4in drill bit 3 times through 3 cylinders and youll be actually able to hang with a 2.9 in no time
