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.

So I feel there are two routes I would go in your shoes. Source the parts to make a 2056. If you shop right you can stay within budget ($4-5k)
As mentioned heads could be the greatest money item as they should be. Don't scimp here and the motor should last. Len's ran me ~$1450. Option 2 which is way easier in my mind is have an already built 2056 from McMark. I think his packages fall within the 4-5 range for a 2056. These are Raby builds allowed to be be built by McMark. You can go FI or Carbs, your choice. I think his builds were Dynoing around 125hp. Drop it in and go. |
