How much bigger and heavier is a 301 than a 212?
How much more power does a 301 have?
301 has 1" shaft vs 212 3/4"

It's a big motor but you could definitely get some performance out of it. Basic at home mods shave head port polish fab up a high flow intake and exhaust. Of course the rest of your build will need to match and won't be cost effective but it'll be a helluva lotta fun!
212 is 37.5 lbs. 16 lbs less, 2.5" narrower and 6.5 HP which can be 10 HP with a few cheap mods but you got it for freee!!!
$229 new so it's worth about $100
I have never seen a 301 mb build?
301 has a 1" ouput shaft.
212cc has a 3/4" so you coud use the $175 3DS manual clutch
which used to advertize on the sidebar here.
