I am thinking of buying a 74 1.8 for 3500 with 39k miles, a mechanic I know got in a trade for some work and I have wanted one for about 10 years . also how much more HP will I get if I put dual webbers on it ( are 44 better than 40s ) and are there higher ratio rocker arms to increase lift to allow for the added fuel , eletronic ignition hotter coil , what other semi simple HP increasing things can I do . BTW I love this website

The engine are the least of the worries looking at this car. It appears from the photos that the front apron was hit and it smells through the computer like a bondo sculpture. In the picture it also looks like the front leading edge door gap is off and the fender looks a bit bowed. My 1.8 is stock with working l-jet and I love it as a 4cyl. keep your foot on the gas, don't lift and have fun.
