How big is big, and how much do you want to spend.
If this is your first time with an engine build, I'd suggest doing a 2056 (or 1911 of your car is a 1.7 or 1.8). It keeps many of the stock parts, gives a nice bump to HP and torque. Many of the pros here will tell you that you don't want to go with a bore size over 96mm if you keep the cast iron cylinders - and make more displacement through stroke. If you want to stay with stock FI, you need to keep the cam mild - stock really. Carbs will allow for bigger cams and bigger compression (as will modern EFI). And the cost to build a big 4 still is not super cheap. a 2056 will probably set you back about 3K if you can reuse some things. 1/2 of that cost is head work. So, what do you want, and what is your budget? Zach |
