I'm still slowly preparing to start my full '73 2.0 restoration- in the mean time, I've been driving the car and figuring out what needs to be done. I want to keep the car very close to stock, but also want to make a few improvements to make the car a little more enjoyable.
I'm thinking about doing a hydraulic cam on the rebuild and a little higher compression pistons, larger brake master, hydraulic lifts for the hood and trunk instead of the springs, and maybe ditching the inner door handles for pulls instead. (I guess I like the RS style look) I know there are a ton of mods out there and was wondering if anyone has experience with any that I'm thinking about doing, or have done any others that you would recommend. |

I would caution you away from a hydraulic cam. The lifters usually have problems pumping up with oil if the car doesn't get driven regularly... If you are wanting to get away from doing valves every 3,000 miles, look into doing 1.7L rocker arms with 911 swivel foot adjusters and chromoly pushrods if you are getting into the motor.
