Mel, with an Mc5, EVERYTHING depends on whether the engine is modified, and especially whether it has a thin ring piston, or the original thick ring. This engine in stock form hasn't a lot of torque or RPM. With a stocker and your weight, maybe start at 10-70 or 10-72 and go from there. Even if it's not optimum, you'll be in the ball park, and you'll have fun and a good ride. Ted
