Wondering when a core engine is worth picking up just because it is cheap.
So in dollars; about what is a running (or near running) 1.7, 1.8 or 2.0 worth out of the car? Assume nothing special, just a normal not dead, but not fresh engine. With vs. without all the FI parts? |

1.7/1.8 tins have the spark plug holes in a different location. Otherwise they're the same. You can drill new holes and weld in plugs to make them like 2.0 tins. But It's not really cost effective, at least in my opinion.
The differences in the heads are well documented. I'm not going to type it all out again. Do some research. It's not just a valve difference. They're all different castings. |
