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.

Hmmm, what's the difference then between the 1.8 and 1.7 bottom ends? Would the 96mm P/C combo work just as well on an old 1.7?

I suppose you haven't viewed my 1.7/1.8 >>2.0 conversion article??? Yes, Len and I started developing MPG combos 4 years ago.. So far only a hand full of people have taken advantage of the engine and that has kept its price high. For someone to spend that kind of money on an engine, they have to WANT to drive it like I do, every day.. |
