Question:
I have a 1098, 1966 Sprite. I want to rebuild for a streetable cam, not too lumpy. What kit And bore is recommended?
Answer:

I'm afraid we can't give much advice here as we don't rebuild the 1098's. The parts available for that engine are a bit limited for cost-effective performance vs. the 1275. That being said, boring the engine and improving flow in the head and adding larger valves will always increase the performance of any engine. The street camshaft most used in our builds is this one:

Question:
So you just have your 1275 block bored over to 1380? That sounds like a big jump
Answer:
Yes, but it's a MUST that the block not be more than +.020 to start with (standard is better) since 1380's are offset bored to leave enough material between the two middle cylinders (2-3).

Good luck

Question:
Are flat top pistons available?
Answer:

No, not currently. The largest flat-top piston we offer are these:

Not in stock but can be ordered. Would go to 1330cc.

Question:
How's this possible in a moggy 1098 engine?
Answer:
You'd need a 1275 engine to start with. Preferably one that hasn't been bored to more than .020" first. The small-bore engines can't go that large.
