I have the chance to acquire an 2.0L 6 case and have thought about building a small bore 2.0-2.5L high revving 6.
Anyone out there running such a combination right now? This would be a street/AX motor. Prefer to do single plug. Most likely use Webers, since MFI parts are getting hard to come by . What combinations of Pistons/cams are you folks using? Pictures of motor builds would be appreciated. Just sliding in a 2.7L CSI motor is also a consideration if the small bore motor becomes too much of a pain. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

IMO you would not want a peaky small six for street or autox. Depending on the build specs and tune you might only make decent power between 4500-7000rpm's or so and regardless the peak torque would be modest compared to a larger displacement.
I have significant (18 years) experience driving 2.2 sixes and while they are gems and sound glorious, it can be challenging to keep them moving at a good clip. Short gears help. |
