I'm getting ready to rebuild my 2.0 and am considering going to either 2056, or maybe even up to 2270. What are the downsides or problems associated with going 2270, if any?

Rod ratio is no worse if the engine is designed correctly at 2270cc. Adding stroke= adding rod length to maintain the proper rod ratio.
If you don't ave 2K+ for heads then stay 2056, because a 2270 with less than adequate head work won't make any real power. Bigger isn't better and smarter beats bigger every time. |
