I bought a 76 2.0 two years ago. It only had 43k on it. When my mechanic accepted delivery he noted the surrounding metal was mostly gone and the heads were not 2.0??!! Why someone did that no clue. Cost probably. It is a non Weber dual carb set up. He installed 1.8 cooling tin. Dilemma the car runs and sounds great. It is as fast as my 73 2.0 FI. Should I start sourcing 2.0 heads before they are out of reach or just forget it? It's a matching engine. Thx

There are now a couple sources for new 2.0 heads. Maybe pick up a pair and tuck them away for when you need the next rebuild.

AA Products is having brand new castings made, $250ish each I think. The heads appear to be pretty desent however it is recommened that the hardware be replaced with better known quality parts. |
