Hi All,
I plan to rebuild the 1.8L in my '75 project. The engine is original and complete with the L-jet fuel injection. I want to keep the original L-Jet Fuel Injection and was wondering what are good P&C sets for this engine if I don't want to change the fuel injection system? Reliability is my highest priority for the rebuild. The PET catalog has 022198075A listed as the part number for 1.8L, but it also has this part number listed for the 2.0, so I'm not sure if it's correct. Is Mahle the OEM vendor for these engines? Thanks in Advance, Dennis |

QUOTE(JOEPROPER @ Aug 7 2017, 08:20 AM)  What is the recommended camshaft or cylinder head upgrade?? Cam entirely depends on the rest of the combo. At the very least, it's necessary to know if it'll be carbs or fuel injection. For this thread, we're talking about a L-Jet motor, so for better drivability I would use the stock cam. To swap a little drivability for a little more power, get the WebCam 73. Heads for performance would be 1. 914 2.0 heads, if you want to stay $1000 or under. 2. Len Hoffman RS+ heads, if you want the very best. But these would be overkill for a stock-ish motor. So, again, it depends on the rest of the combo and the intended use. |

When building my 2056 with stock D-Jet, I went with the FAT 440MP camshaft. It's in between the stock grind and the WebCam 73. You gain some power without losing any drivability. |
