I had REX SBK01 as my first 1/8 buggy engine. It was a beast! If i remember correctly it was a square stroke, 5 port. Pretty good all around engine. It would be right with the RB and Sirio engines of the time.
As far as Paris modding it, quite possible but I think Ron passed away in 2001. So it depends on the year. I had one of his .12 touring car engines. That thing had a mid-range kick that you thought a single speed touring car had a 2 speed in it.
