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 speak from experience here, but when I first built my motor, I used hydraulic lifters. Daily driver. Valves would clack and flack and clack..everytime I started the car until it got warm.. worst decision I've ever made building an engine.. I was very happy to be rid of them.
I would never recommend them to anyone on a type 4. |
