Hey Guys,
Since I cant find a reasonably priced 2.0 to replace my 1.8 in my 1974, how would a dual carb 1.8 with 96mm PC, stock 1.8 heads and stock cam compare H.P. wise to a stock 2.0? If I changed the cam from stock to a carb cam would it increase H.P. worth the work and money involved? if so what would the H.P. be? Approx. I have some leads on 1.8 engines that are a lot cheaper than the 2.0 that has been offered and would leave me money for the PC upgrade plus leave me an extra $1,800.00 that I don't have right now anyway.

Randy - I will chime in here. I just took a 1.8 and created a 1911 by adding the 96 mm P&C's with a new cam and dual Webers. Despite the issues I am having with my rebuild I would highly recommend the 1911. I had a tired 1.7 D-Jet and this is a world apart! It is quick and would not expect a 2.0 be much more. It turned my 914 into a sports car again.
Would love to hear from somebody who can quantify any difference! |
