Well, car is running like crap and compression is 98-110. Buddy mechanic says there isn't enough there to work with. So need to explore options. Was looking for a 6 awhile ago but that's just too expensive.
I have a 1971 1.7 block (car is 1970), may have bigger cylinders in it but don't know. What are the options if on a slightly restricted budget? I want big and more power but I know there's a tipping point on that. I see new engines advertised here and there. SCAT 2056. Contemplating, do I buy a new engine like this? (any others out there?) or rebuild what I have using a SCAT engine kit or piecing it together using various kits. How big can I easily (budget) go? Currently don't know what I have so assumming a new cam, new crank, etc. I plan on using the existing dual Weber 40IDFs and the MSDS headers/muffler. Here's a pic so there's something visual here.

From your 1.7:
96mm P&C will get you to 1911. 96mm P&C and 2.0 Crank will get you to a 2056. 96mm P&C, stroker crank will get you to a 2270 (but you will need to replace about everything and probably spend a good bit more then your budget doing it). My 2056 was built on a 1.7 case. You will spend most of your budget on heads. And that's okay. I don't know that you can get your heads reworked for 2K any more (or even if you should), but you can buy new ones for about 4K. My 2056 dynoed at close to 150HP (127 at the wheels). Its FUN. But also has more goodies on it. Just doing P&C and heads will get you to about 115, which will also be fun and quicker then your current 1.7 by a ton. |
