    just do a ac, still good for 30+ bhp,

    or convert drum ac block to lc.
    leccy pump, and tap a fitting into the water jacket on the bottom of the barrel/ or in the cases like a lc!

    terros has a beast of a ac 172

    lee has james's old 31.4 bhp ac engine.

    theres plenty other high output ac's about aswell.

    well lc is better really but aint massive

    noting wrong with ac just as tunable as lc only let down it the ac ignition but put lc ignition on and their you go.

    reliability depends on how and who builds and ports it.

    depends what YOU mean by better

    oh and that typh is 30+ bhp
