I need some advise as to which direction to take my project. I have a 1.8 engine that is already out of my car. It could use a rebuild. I was wondering, for a street car with miild performance increases desired, what are the pros and cons of rebuilding a 1.8 engine to a big bore 2.0, as opposed to just buying a stock 2.0L and rebuilding that? Would I come out about the same, cost and performance wise? Either system will have 2.0L heat exhangers/exhaust.

QUOTE(newdeal2 @ Jul 15 2004, 10:52 AM) As a guess look at about $2,000.00 for the parts and machine shop work. What would the avg labor hours be on that? |
