okay, currently have a W case, w/ 66 mm crank and worn/dished 93 P&C's.
induction is 40 IDF ignition is 009 and bosch Blue.

Now that's out of the way, I want to build a budget type 4, I know this 100%, so no Subie or SBC will be going in. Eventually I'd like a BIG Raby Motor but for now I want a little 4 with some guts.

Seeing that I am on a budget, would 96's at ~9:1 cam and some time spent learning how to tune it make for a happy motor, something at least comprobale to a 2 liter car??? what else could I do in keeping with the budget theme? oh, have 1.7 HE's presently with a bursch in the mail...

Please weigh in with your experiences and advice. dont wanna stroke it just a little cause when I do it will be like i said a 2270+

I've seen some good deals on a 2.0 crank and rods here that,a cam and the 96's

will make a nice running engine, even without the crank it will run better than

what you have now.

I Have heard of 1911's, thats the direction I am heading, I'd kind of like some info from those that have had or run this engine, things I may not be thinking of. will I be so much down from a 2056 cause as I said when I stroke it I want to do it big and not just a little to do it again in 6-12 months

Go visit http://www.shoptalkforums.com/

Go to the Type 4 forum and ask about your combo. Someone will give you a discription of the basics. Lots of smart T4 guys post there. Even some from the 914 Club.
