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

When i got my 76 2L it had bus heads with the small 48cc chambers vs the 60cc chambers standard in 2L heads.
Not sure what chambers the 1.8 heads have, but you may have a nice compression boost. |
