1,7 engine, What to do with it Options

[DavidSweden]

I have the chance to pick up a 1,7 engine for about $300, its seems like a pity to pass it over but I am wondering what I can do with it. The engine in my car is a 2.0, can I build a stroker from the 1,7 or use it in some other way or just use it for spares?

My 1.7 engine is peppy and has good throttle response, great street engine. "Low end torque is awesome." so true. Top-end lacks a bit over 80 mph up steep hills, but sometimes lots of power over 80mph, is, well , pricey.. I got that in my M3 and then there are speeding tickets to worry about.


Getting a second 1.7 engine, soon, barter situation, & fingers crossed it's a 1911.
Happy to have a spare engine in my kitchen, just in case. Will post a picture when I get it.

Keep in mind a stock 1.7 engine is only 8 hp less than a stock 2.0.



Us 1.7 owners should start our own secret club. Shhhhhhh!
