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.

My 1911:
Len Hoffman modified 1.8 heads Elgin cam 9.5:1 CR euro-headers weber 40's put out just over 100HP at the rear wheels on a chassis dyno. Depending on what you believe the tranny efficiency to be, that is ~120 HP un-corrected @ the flywheel. I like it! The only problem is the head temps are a little high. Go with the Raby cam! |
