It is always good to have a new member to the forum and interesting to hear what they want to build. There is much advice here from previous and current builds which may help you but the best thing you could do is book yourself a holiday in the UK and go and visit the two companies. Speak to the owners, see the products, touch them understand the differences. As your venture will cost time and money this may be the best way forward for relatively little outlay . Good luck on your project.

I would like to only give some comment on the engine.
An 3.0 bore and a 2.0 stroke will give a much (to much) decreased compression ratio. Or will you use costum made pistons/rods ?
In the past I've made an 2.8 based on a 3.0 bore and 2.5 stroke. That brings CR down from 10.0 to 7.7. I however installed a turbocharger so it worked out well

Many Thnks for your advice, I haven't got enough knowledge about this engines range because I never have done any of those , the idea was use the 2.0 crank and block , then mechanize wet 3.0 liners to leave it on 2.0 stroke or maybe a bit less(and so the block will need mechanize) fit 3.0 STD pistons with new rings and 3.0 head mechanized to try to reach 11.5 -12 CR . All this is theory without have done any and with no knowledge about those engines, maybe it can be done or not. Then run the engine with 48 IDF and fit 290/306º cams to try to match as much as possible stratos original dino engine power curve, a shot ratio engine revs in a different way vs long stroke when is not boosted , so that was my idea when I decide to go this way . I repeat all this is theory maybe it cant be done .My idea is try to match as much as possible the soul of a Gr.4 Stratos doing things with 2018 technology.

Many Thanks Gordon for your advice , I will I´m preparing a trip to LB on September, Hawk look like a car beautifly done perfect fittment and finishing but using a 30 year old chassis design , looking at the pictures looks like LB has more engienering involving his product, I´m looking more for handling and chassis rigidity than other characterustic anyway hawk is not discarded, I belive is more a question about what is wanting final coustumer what make people goes for ne option or the other. that is the clue in my opinion.
