i guess your not taking it apart than -- the difference everyone is talking about is compression, the 882s are of the low type 9-to 1 w/ 400 type motor so you can street drive it all the time and not have high engine temps pinging and alike -- 400s run hot they are thin castings, but give up real good power, it is a good choice - but you will need a rev limiter they don't like high engine speeds over 5500 -- ( the connecting rod is too short ) some guys liked it because it snapped off the top of the block and you can grind a special cam but not what you are doing -- it will go faster in the next gear short shifting it at 5000 than reving it higher -- do you get that -- lots of torque = 400 motor - let me know -- photo is of a 400 with a 64cc head and cast stock pistons and too much timing
