CA has a higher redline
Cast iron block
Weighs damn near 50 lbs less
Size wise, makes the SR look like a 6 cylinder
And for the money I save on the half cut, I'll buy intake, exhaust, and a boost controller, and make the same power.

Don't knock it just b/c it's older and was replaced by something that's become the biggest bandwagon in the last 4 years.

BTW, do you REALLY expect to convince someone that a motor that has rocker arm stoppers is REALLY designed better than a motor without them?
CA's don't rev as high as an SR. The rev limiter hits at 7200 stock compared with 7500 on an SR.

SR's have a better head design but the CA has a better block and slightly better valvetrain. So what, we have rocker arm stoppers? Doesn't mean the valvetrain sucks.

The reason the SR's are the band wagon now is because bang for your buck, parts avaliability,newer, more potential for big power and so on.

Toyota uses 3sgte's in their race car's does that make 2j's suck?
