Anyone know what a 73 2.0 engine weighs? I am considering all my options.
Originally I was looking at a LS1 or LS2 conversion, which I really like. My 75 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif) is very rust free, so I am not sure about cutting such a nice chassis. There is a parts car close to me:

Thoughts???

So, I am saving 44 LBS. with my 1.7!!

I am actually quite pleased with the pep of the 1.7..fun!
But are you saying a 2.0 conversion requires cutting up the engine tin or bay?

No. The 2.0 bolts in with no mods. [edit]oops, aside from minor holes in tin for spark plugs[/edit]

The LS1/LS2 is an aluminum block Chevy v8 with 300+ more hp than a 2.0 and doesn't weigh more than a Porsche 6. That conversion requires a small notch in the rear trunk wall for the distributor. And a radiator in the front trunk.
