I know there will be a big difference in s 4 cyl 1.7 and a 2.2 6 cyl I was asking what type of power a 2.2 gives you as I only drive a 1.7 at the moment

Yes the S in a handful to keep on the boil so to speak,good friend had one in the early days it was major fun on the open road twisties but a dog in town.
My motor is more or less stock 71 2.2t ,I haven't run my car as yet but if I was to update I would go with bored stock cylinders to 86mm and JE custom 9:1 pistons,biral cylinders are an option (preference), mild DC cams and a quality stock rebuild on heads.
A well built -6 can easily double the HP of the 1.7 -4.
This combination will yield a displacement of 2.3L and have a handy increase in power which will be fun to drive in ALL driving situations,at the end of the day it about how good the work is done to give you max bang for buck....it isn't cheap.
Make sure you pick a good engine builder from the very start.
