once I get a 2.0 L engine to replace my 1.7(or 1.8) what else do I need? what parts interchange?
Heat exchangers? mufflers? muffler hanger? distributor? carb manifold? (I know I will have to drill a hole for the 3-bolt attachment) what am I forgetting that I need to consider? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) can you tell I'm excited about what the car will run like with an engine that has good compression?! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |

Heat exchangers?
Yes, IF you use everything...HEs. hanger and muffler. distributor? Depends on the dizzy, if it's a 009, give it the float test and geta 050. carb manifold? (I know I will have to drill a hole for the 3-bolt attachment) May need re-jetting of the carbs...."some" can be drilled.... |

are you saying I *CAN* use 1.7/1.8 H/Es and Muffler/hanger? or do I need to get 2.0-specific... I plan to get a triad and SSI H/Es later(in 2.0 form) but, can the 1.7/1.8 get-up work? if it does *work* what are the drawbacks? I have a 050 on my 1.7, I think... it's pointless

The 1.7 exchangers (also used on 74 1.8) work fine on a 2.0 engine. They have a bit more bending and are smaller in diameter, which gives you slightly worse flow than the 2.0 parts. But they still work fine.
You must use a muffler and muffler hanger and exchangers of the same type as each other. No mixing and matching; they don't fit correctly. But you can swap the setup between motors as a complete package. --DD |

thanks dave, that's exactly what I needed to know... I didn't want to invest in a temporary fix, when I can wait a little while and get the exact setup I want.
