90 HP GAS SAVER!

We tested this engine kit using dual ICT Weber carburetors and acheived 90 Horsepower and 130 ft lbs of torque!. The Gas Saver engine kit can also be used with a stock Solex 34 PICT "jetted accordingly", Dual Kadron, Solex, Weber IDF, and Dellorto DRLA or FRD carburetors. We have seen as high as 39 mpg with this engine kit in a late model VW Beetle with a 3.88 ring and pinion and .089 4th gear.

Designed for maximum power output on Regular Fuel. The Builders Choice Engine Kits are set up with the novice builder in mind. Easy to assemble with pre-determined compression ratio's, connecting rod length, camshaft and cylinder heads. The Builder's Choice engine kit takes all the guess-work out of building your own engine. Each kit is listed with the correct carburetor size, intake manifold, and exhaust type needed to achieve the advertised Horsepower output. Take advantage from years of engine building experience with the Builders Choice Engine Kit.

OEM Distributor Drive Pinions and Brass Distributor Drive Gears are NO LONGER AVAILABLE. Due to this, we can no longer supply them in the Builder's Choice Engine Kits.

5 of 5 1904cc Builders Choice Engine Kit August 14, 2018
Reviewer: Robert Willet from California  
The "gas saver" hauls the mail on very little fuel. Four years after I built mine it still runs like a Swiss watch.  Last week two trips up the highway 80 from 500' to 5000', loaded with heavy music equipment, 70+ all the way. Torque out the wazoo.
