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.

Rich I've been tuned in to fuel economy for a long time now. When gas hit $1.50/gallon I thought that was expensive, and I saw the writing on the wall.
A coupleof years ago I spent a good deal of time developing a cylinder head configuration that is geared toward fuel economy and torque. It's not a high revver, but when placed on a properly configured engine it makes a great stump puller. It's all done by 5,000rpm's (depending on the displacement). I would like to spend more time on this sort of development, but there so far just isn't much demand for it. With gas at $4.00+ and climbing, go figure! |
