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?

From my experience and having stuffed one engine already, if you go 2270 the standard FI won't get enough fuel through. Carbs would be the answer. I would go 2056 if I were you. It seems a nice size engine for these cars

FWIW -- I went through this decision process last year and decided on 2056. There were lots of reasons for this, but the main reason was that a 2270 requires some case clearancing, which I didn't feel comfortable doing as a first-time engine builder.
Also, I'm no expert but I think the consensus is that you're right -- you're going to need a new induction system for the 2270. So, add at least $2k for that if you go that route. |
